Hi, my name is Claire, and I started working at Forest Care Home in October 2018 as the Administrator. I have worked in the care sector for over 10 years, and every day has a different challenge; there is never a dull moment working here. I am always willing to help with any situation that arises and my door is open to everyone, so come and say hello.

Hi, my name is Sue and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Forest Care Home. I have worked here since 2016, starting as a Senior Carer and then taking on the role of Activities Coordinator. My aim is to create meaningful activities and events that are person-centered, with the aim of stimulating residents both physically and mentally. 

Hi my name is Carl Brown, I was appointed Head Chef at Forest Care Centre back in November 2012. My background is hospitality based working for the Police Force at the National Police Training Centre in Hampshire, and later in the Care Industry in the South of England. I have over 30 years experience that I bring to the Dining Experience for each of the residents with menus of classic dishes combined with resident favourites.

I have worked for Barchester since 2013, starting off as a Carer before moving into the maintenance department – and I am now Head of Maintenance. There is never a dull moment working for Forest Care Home, and there's always plenty of work to do. The staff and residents are like one big family and I get great job satisfaction in repairing, fixing or creating a lovely living environment for those we support.

Hi, my name is Kerry, and I have worked as a Housekeeper, Laundry Supervisor and, presently, I am the Head Housekeeper. During my time at Forest Care Home, I have gained a vast amount of knowledge and experience. 

I have six members of staff on my team, and we all ensure that our areas of the home are kept to a high standard of cleanliness, so that residents can live in a safe and beautiful environment. We have all built a good relationship with residents and their families, allowing us to feel that we are all part of an even bigger family.

I have worked in Forest Care Home since 2015, and I absolutely love my job! Many residents are living with dementia, and this brings us challenges on a daily basis. I look forward to going to work as it's both rewarding and satisfying. I like to go home at the end of my shift knowing that I have looked after them to the best of my ability.

I joined Forest Care Home as a volunteer in September 2018. I am so pleased to be giving some of my spare time to the staff residents. I am available to drive our minibus to enable residents to join in with community activities and take regular trips out of the home. I understand the needs for meaningful activities and engaging communication.
