Meet the Henford House Care Home Team

Hello, My name is Anna. I have been a registered Nurse for 9 years, my background is in the community where I started my nursing journey as a District Nurse and later took on a Specialist Nurse role as Nursing, Residential and Learning disabilities Specialist nurse for NEH. I later joined one of the homes I supported as the Deputy manager, Clinical lead and Home trainer for 2 years. I moved to Wiltshire at the end of 2022 and have been a part of the Barchester family since then,  as Bank Nurse, working both days and nights. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of the team here at Henford House so when the opportunity arose, I applied for Deputy Manager and most gratefully got the job.

I’m a wife, mum of 3 and also have 2 fur babies- Teddy and Bingo (cocker spaniels). I really enjoy singing and I’m part of the Military Wives Choir. I really believe that singing is good for the soul and can often be heard singing my way down the corridors here (not always in tune).

I am very excited to be a part of this wonderful team and to have the honour of supporting residents, relatives and colleagues.

I am one of the clinical leads at Henford House and have worked here a number of years. I know the residents well. I work on the nights shifts mostly, but do carry out one day shift a fortnight so the residents can recognise me. I support the nursing and care staff and am available for residents and their family members to chat to and get information from. I have a young son and l daughter who keep my home life busy!

I have worked at Henford House since 1996 and enjoy my job immensely — I find it very rewarding. I started as a Care Assistant and, over the years, I have gained my NVQ Level 2 and 3 in Care, and then I was promoted to Team Leader. I am now progressing on to become a  Care Practitioner.

I joined Henford House in March 2014; after five and a half years of domiciliary care, this position became available at Henford and I decided that it would be great to do more of the fun things in life with residents! It is great here at the home; we get along so well and truly have some laughs. Residents have a wide range of activities to participate in each week, including armchair exercises, bingo sessions, singalongs, musical entertainment, pottery, manicures, celebrations and much more. It is very rewarding knowing that people are grateful for the work I've done when I go. Working here has also given me the opportunity to gain my Level 2 NAPA certificate.

I have worked at Henford since 2015 and I really enjoy my role here; I get to interact with residents on a daily basis and Henford is a friendly and homely place to work.

I joined Henford House Care Home as a Care assistant in June 2016. I very much enjoy my role here.

I have worked in Henford House as a nurse since 2014. I am usually found working on days and my husband Daniel works at Henford at night. I have recently been promoted to Clinical Lead, which I am very proud of. I support the nurses and the carers on duty.

I am always happy to help out with any questions you may have about your loved ones here. I am in regular contact with the doctors and pharmacies to ensure medications are checked regularly, and our residents are healthy. I originally came from Romania and can speak fluent Italian.

I joined the team in October 2020.

I look forward to working with you all and my door is always open if you would like to discuss any clinical concerns you may have

I have been working at Henford House now for 10 years starting off as a domestic assistant, having also worked in the kitchen, laundry then as a carer.  I have finally worked my way up to become the home administrator, which I feel very settled in.  I am able to have the daily interaction with the residents at the same time as doing a job I love.

I joined Henford house in January 2022, coming from the food industry it’s been an interesting change but I find one the best parts of my job is being able to have a chat with resident’s and hopefully helping to make there day better.

I started with Barchester at Henford house in September of 2022. Since joining the team I have qualified as a care practitioner, I love the role as every day is different. We have a great team here and we all help each other out.
