From nurses and carers to chefs and housekeepers, staff in our home are here to deliver high quality care and services to those we support. Check below to meet some of the friendly faces you are likely to see when visiting our home:

Hayley Simmonds
General Manager
Hello. My name is Hayley, and I am the General Manager here at Hagley Place. Welcome to our website.
I have worked with Barchester for 12 years, all of which I have spent at Hagley Place.
The residents and staff at Hagley Place mean the world to me and so when the opportunity came to step up and support the home it was an honour to take the reins.
I have been a nurse for over 20 years and can honestly say that caring for others is the most rewarding thing I could have ever done with my life and I’m excited to be able to use that knowledge and experience to help benefit the lives of all within Hagley Place and support their families.

Matthew Weston
Deputy Manager
I have been in the healthcare sector for 15 years, having first started as a kitchen assistant in a previous nursing home. I then worked up to senior HCA before doing my nursing degree. During the 15 years I have worked across many types of healthcare settings and have over 10 years’ experience in nursing homes. I previously worked at Telford PRH in the acute medical unit as a band 5 RGN. I have a real passion for quality care am a Dementia Friends Champion.

Monica Catanoiu
Head of Nursing
Monica joined the home in 2024 and quickly made an impact on our residents and staff with her knowledge and dedication.
Her sunny attitude brightens the day and nothing is ever too much trouble.
She has some fantastic ideas on how to improve life further for our residents and to make the best of our nursing communities.

Hazel Harwood
Team Leader
Hi, my name is Hazel and I’m a Team Leader here at Hagley Place. I've been here since 2014. I really enjoy my role here at Hagley Place, and enjoy spending time with those we support.

Francesca Short
Administrator
Since joining Hagley Place I’ve loved being involved with the residents and getting to know them and their stories. I enjoy the variety of my role and the fact that no two days are ever the same. The genuine care and respect shown to all residents and staff provide such an engaging and enjoyable atmosphere. I visited my mum here for two years whilst she was in care, and today it still feels like coming home.

Steve Allan
Acting Head Chef
I started working as a chef in 2018 and chose to move into the care sector because it provided a more personal touch. You get to know the people you are cooking for, their likes and dislikes and their memories that they associate with their favourite meals.
Food can be deeply personal and bring back memories of family dinners, fun times with friends and your own personal recipes that you have passed down the generations.
Becoming a chef in a care setting allows me to help bring back those happy memories for our residents and learn their stories.

Stephanie Evans
Head of Housekeeping
I have been at Hagley Place Care Home since 2013. I first came as a bank domestic, then went onto being permanent. Over the past few years I have taken up the post of Head of Housekeeping. I am also Health and Safety Coordinator, Infection control Champion, Training Champion, and very much get involved in the Green Leaf programme.

Meirion Woolf
Senior Care Assistant
Hi, my name is Meirion and I’m a senior care assistant here at Hagley Place. I started my journey at Hagley back in 2012, when I worked with the activities team, and now I’m a Senior Carer. I really enjoy making a difference to residents' lives, and I am passionate about ensuring that Hagley Place cultivates a 'home from home' atmosphere.

Leon Jones
Carer
Hi, my name is Leon and I’m a carer here at Hagley Place. I enjoy my role here and seeing what a difference we can make to the lives of residents.
I used to work at Hollyfields, Hagley Place's sister care home. I really enjoy my time there, but I transferred here to Hagley as I moved houses.

Tracy Miles
Head of Memory Lane
I have been nursing for many years and worked with several nursing agencies to support dozens of nursing homes.
When I first worked at Hagley Place it felt like coming home.
When I was offered a full-time position I jumped at it, the love and care all of the team here show to their residents is heart-warming and I am so proud to be a part of it.

Deborah Tekpor
Peri-Nurse
I came to Hagley Place from Nigeria as it allowed me to forge a nursing career where I can really help and make a difference. There is a great working atmosphere here at Hagley Place, and every day is different. Barchester are also supporting me in completing leadership courses so I can advance my skill set even further.

Anna Wasyliszyn
Night Manager
I have been night manager at Hagley Place since 2019 and prior to that I was head of unit for the frail nursing community. I am very proud of the team we have at Hagley Place and the care we deliver. Being a nurse is a very rewarding role and I am grateful to be able to practice the role I love in such a joyous environment.

Mandy Hayward
Activities Coordinator
I have a long background in the care industry and love to incorporate the outdoors in my activities. This role is very special as it allows me the time to get to know our residents and their families in a deeply personal way.

Tracy Howells
Head of Maintenance
I started at Hagley Place as Head Gardener in 2019 and have since become head of maintenance.
I love my job as maintaining the home allows me to interact with our residents and ensure they are happy.
I enjoy bringing fun and laughter to them, even dressing up as Santa at Christmas and dropping presents off from our homemade sleigh with colleagues. The fact that I can create and maintain a beautiful space for them to live and enjoy visits with their friends and family really is rewarding.

Billie Howell
Senior Carer
My name is Billie and I am a Senior Carer at Hagley Place. I help to support the team on the Nursing Community with the Nurse.
I have many years’ experience in domiciliary care and coming into a Care Home has been a big change but one that has helped me grow into a strong leader. Making sure myself and team deliver excellent care is the always a priority.

Helen Skinsley
Trainee Care Practitioner
Hi, my name is Helen and I’m a Senior Carer here at Hagley Place. I started in 2018 and I’m really enjoying every day. I’m training on medication currently and mentoring new carers that join.

Steve Jenkins
Maintenance Assistant
I started at Hagley in early 2022 after being contacted by Tracy Howells. The day to day life at Hagley always makes me smile and no matter the job role there is always time to interact and have a laugh with the residents. Working within a care setting was very new to me, but the satisfaction that comes with it is unparalleled.
