Meet the Farley Gardens Care Home Team

Simona Cioinac
Hello. My name is Simona, and I am the Senior General Manager here at Farley Gardens. My team and I can't wait to welcome you into our beautiful new home.
My role is to ensure that we deliver what we say we do. I am responsible for overall service delivery to our residents and community, inspiring and leading the team and to ensure high standards of governance and compliance are achieved.
I trained as a nurse in Italy, and worked there for 20 years in that capacity. The last 7 years before leaving Italy I had the privilege of serving the public healthcare sector through managing and leading frontline hospital services. In 2017, I came to the UK and joined the NHS, which I was particularly proud of. I have learnt a great deal from these colleagues along my career journey.
I truly believe in the values of responsibility, integrity, kindness, compassion and doing what I can for others. The care sector has afforded me the opportunity to ‘live’ these values in the workplace, for which I am truly grateful.
After serving in the NHS, I was immediately drawn to Barchester because of the culture and principles the organisation aspires to.
I am now passionately working with the community and my team here at Austen House to take the home’s services forward. My team and I are fully committed to embedding the Barchester Values: RESPECT, INTEGRITY, PASSION, EMPOWERMENT and RESPONSIBILITY.
My door is always open to the community, family, residents and staff: do not hesitate to come and talk to me should you need anything or if I can assist in any way.
Thank you for your interest in our lovely home.
