Meet the Cherry Blossom Manor Care Home Team

Luca joined us at Cherry Blossom Manor as Head of Unit in June 2018, and was promoted to Deputy Manager later in the year. Luca is looking forward to supporting all the staff at the home.

Cristina joined us in 2016, starting as a Healthcare Assistant. Christina then became a Nurse on our Wellington Unit.  

Cristina's dedication and knowledge was quickly recognised and it wasn't long before she was promoted to Unit Manager of our Bramley Unit, which is our designated dementia unit. I am a dementia champion at Cherry Blossom Manor.

Cristina love's her job and the new challenges it brings every day. She works alongside a great team who are like a second family.

My name is Ali & I joined Cherry Blossom Manor 8 months after the home opened. Previous to working, here I worked in the banking sector and, for 10 years, I also worked in domiciliary care. Both of my previous roles have given me a good insight into my current role.

I love working at Cherry Blossom Manor; I really enjoy meeting all the residents & spending time with them, every day is different.

My ‘working dog’, Bailey, comes to work with me every day; he has been keeping us all company since 2012. He brings happiness to all the residents, who love to treat him with biscuits.

Lillian has joined the Housekeeping Team as Head of Department, overseeing Housekeeping and Laundry within the home.  Since joining the team she has updated systems in place and has shuffled the team to allow them to work more efficiently.

Lillian has an open door policy and can often be found with residents and staff discussing anything and everything.

When not at work Lillian can be found with her grandchildren where she enjoys nothing more than getting them messy so they have dirty laundry to take home to mummy!
