Meet the Chalfont Lodge Care Home Team

I am a compassionate and dedicated individual driven by a deep sense of purpose to care for others. I am a registered nurse and I have always worked hard to ensure that the people we care for are safe and comfortable. My motivation comes from making positive impacts on people’s lives, forming meaningful connections with patients, their families, and my peers.

Having been promoted through various roles, including Peripatetic Nurse in 2022 and Home Clinical Lead in 2023 , I improved care standards, adapted to new environments, and supported clinical teams. As newly appointed Deputy Manager in April 2024, I oversee operations, staff management, and care planning, prioritizing residents' well-being and positive outcomes. My career showcases dedication to healthcare and continuous improvement, aiming to be a role model and support my peers in maintaining high standards of person-centred care. I look forward to welcoming you to Chalfont Lodge!

Hello my name is Maria and I'm the Head of our Turnberry community. I love being a nurse and helping people. I have a wonderful team and love being a part of the Chalfont Lodge Community!

Hi, my name is Isabel but go by Izzy. I qualified as a Music Therapist in 2015 from Anglia Ruskin University and lived and worked for some years in Cambridge. I completed my second master's in Mental Health Science in 2020 whilst living in France before moving to Bucks to work across three NHS hospitals specialising in dementia and rehabilitation. I am passionate about the power of music and music therapy for older people and those living with dementia, and about strengthening connections between research and practice. As well as working for Barchester I run community choirs and teach the piano locally and in my spare time, I enjoy yoga and spending time outdoors.

Having recently joined Chalfont Lodge as part of the activities team, I have lots of experience working in the care sector.  

Both Anna and I enjoy working with such a great team and nothing makes us happier than to bring joy and laughter to our residents' daily lives.

With over seven years of experience in facilities management across diverse sectors, including private care and education, I have developed a strong expertise in overseeing all aspects of maintenance operations.

At Chalfont Lodge, I am dedicated to ensuring that the environment is well-maintained, safe, and fully operational. If you encounter any issues or have maintenance needs, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am always happy to help.
