Paula Melerski
General Manager
Hello, my name is Paula and I am proud to be the General Manager here at Hickathrift House. I joined Barchester in 2015 and my background is actually Nursing.
As an experienced home manager, I fully understand how difficult the transition into new surroundings can be which is why my highly qualified team and I are committed to fully support you and your family throughout this journey and always.
I am passionate about our residents being safe, making them happy and enabling them to lead fully enriched lives whilst always receiving the highest quality of care.
One thing that I feel is really important is offering residents a lot of personal choice and as Hickathrift House is their home they have the right to choose what goes on here!
I am hands-on in my role, I like to spend as much time as possible with the people that we care for and I also really enjoy getting to know our residents' families and provide them with support when they need it.
Our team here at Hickathrift House are dedicated to guaranteeing that all of our residents are treated with dignity, respect and attention - thus in turn enabling them to celebrate life in their new Barchester home which I feel exceptionally privileged to be a part of.
I look forward to welcoming you to Hickathrift House very soon!
