Meet the Denmead Grange Care Home Team

Hello, my name is Emma and I'm the Deputy Manager here at Denmead Grange Care Home. I have worked in Health and Social care for 19 years and I have always been passionate about supporting the Elderly within the community. I work closely with the General Manager and take leadership in their absence. I am very proud to be part of Denmead Grange and Lead a team to deliver the highest level of quality care to our residents.

My previous job was working with the Local District nursing team and I have been visiting Denmead Grange since it opened.

I have been with Barchester since 2012, starting off as a carer, but I have 20 years’ experience in training and assessing and was also in the Royal Navy. I find my job very rewarding when I see the great care going on in my homes and assisting staff in developing their careers.

Being Head of life Enrichment isn’t just a job, it’s a passion.

My time with the residents has and will always be an honour and pleasure.

Finding out their interests and hobbies, so I can tailor the weekly planner is such a great thing to do, as this means lots of chats over a good cuppa! But it also means that I can get to know them personally and get to understand a part of their past, so I can continue to help them experience their interests in this next phase of their lives.

A truly rewarding role, where I can be part of and contribute to something meaningful. All I hope for, is to make this journey for both the residents and their families, as restful, easy and enjoyable as possible. Then I know I’ve done my part.

Hello, my name is Craig and I am the Head Chef at Denmead Grange Care Home.  I create an outstanding daily menu and  tailor these menus around residents and ensure I deliver a person centred hospitality.

I work with fresh produce to deliver high quality and wholesome dishes cooked at the highest quality and standards to create a warm, efficient and fun environment in our residents home.

I have been in the construction industry for over 15 years and the last 5 are in maintenance in a care home.

I love how no two days are the same in my job.

I enjoy keeping Denmead in tip-top condition and interacting with residents and staff.
