Care homes and elderly care from Barchester Healthcare

Karen Whyte

General Manager

Hello, my name is Karen Whyte and I am the General Manager here at Fairview House.

I have been a qualified nurse for over 15 years. I have been a Home Manager since 2007 managing several different types of services.

My personal goal is that Fairview House is not an establishment, but a home away from home for all who visit. We are a large team at Fairview and an important part of that team are the residents and their families. I encourage sharing ideas, suggestions and concerns to make our home a happy and safe one.

Angie, Heather, Beryl & Nikki

Activities Team

We organise a weekly events planner that consists of a variety of activities tailored to residents' individual likes and dislikes.

Angie joined Fairview in 2014 as an Activities Coordinator, Heather joined in 2013, firstly as a Kitchen Assistant, then becoming part of the domestic team, before finally joining activities; Beryl joined Fairview in 2008 as a Carer before joining the activities team in 2013, and Nikki joined in 2016, firstly as a Carer.

We all work well together and support each other as a team.

Diane Cadger

Receptionist

My name is Diane and I originally started more than ten years ago at Fairview as a Laundry Assistant. I changed role after a few years to part-time evening Receptionist, as this suited my family life at the time.

I have continued to work as a part-time Receptionist, moving on to the day shift, and have increased my hours and responsibilities. I really enjoy working at Fairview; it is a friendly, welcoming place to be. My role is busy, varied and interesting. No two days are the same, which is something that I enjoy.

Gail Thompson

Memory Lane Charge Nurse

Hi, my name is Gail, and I am a Memory Lane Charge Nurse here at Fairview House.

Aurelio Macalino

Head Chef

My daily duties include preparing and cooking wholesome, nutritious, well-balanced and tasty meals for residents. I have learned how to create many local dishes since starting here, including skirlie, mince and tatties!

Krishna Mani

Maintenance Assistant

I am the Maintenance Assistant here at Fairview House. I have been working here since 2017 and have learned a great deal since starting. I have attended additional training provided by Barchester, which has helped me a great deal. My co-workers are so supportive and I am looking forward to developing my career over the next few years at Barchester.

Jim Douglas

Resident Ambassador

My name is Jim Douglas and I have been a resident at Fairview House since 2015. I really enjoy my relationships with staff and residents and the overall atmosphere at Fairview.

I was appointed as Resident Ambassador in 2017, with my purpose being to open a dialogue between residents and management, with the intent of improving residents' overall well-being at the home.

Ann Mair

Paper Girl

My name is Ann Mair and I have been a resident here at Fairview House since 2003. I enjoy helping out with the fetes, where I take money for the refreshments we serve. I was appointed as the Paper Girl in 2016, and this role involves delivering all the residents' newspapers to their rooms, along with any mail that comes in for them.
