I have worked here at Chacombe Park Care Home since 2013; I started at Chacombe as a care assistant followed by becoming a senior carer before taking on the role as Activities Co-coordinator. I love being part of the fun and entertainment that we have here at Chacombe. I strive to ensure all residents we support are involved with everyday life at Chacombe one way or another by organising group and individual activities.

We have a varied activity programme that is never fixed and if residents are wishing to do an alternative activity this is never an issue. There are regular entertainers, PAT dog, themed events/days such as beach days, cultural days as well as celebrating the big calendar events such as Guy Fawkes. We also have regular trips out on the Mini Bus, which include visiting places of interest, lunch trips/afternoon tea. Relatives, friends and family are encouraged to join the activities that we have going on around the home as often as they can.

I have been the Head Housekeeper at Chacombe Park since Dec 2015, I am responsible for managing a team of dedicated housekeepers ensuring that Chacombe is presented well at all times. I am also responsible for the laundry service and managing the delivery of resident’s clean and freshly ironed laundry. 

When I am not working I spend a lot of time with my grandson’s and to relax you can find me curled up on the sofa with a good read.
