I'm dedicated to creating a sensitive, nurturing and comfortable home, where all our residents receive personalised care and attention. I take pride in our resident-centered philosopy and approach to care. This philosophy is reflected in my commitment to promoting optimum independence and quality of life of all those who pass through our doors.

It's always my privilege to care for the elderly in a way that will enrich their lives. My goals are to maintain independence as well as create memorable and cherished experiences for those in our care.

Fiona is responsible for the administration of the home and works closely with the General Manager and Heads of Departments to ensure the smooth running of Kingfisher Lodge. Fiona is supported by two other members of her team, Wendy and Julie.

Fiona has been with Kingfisher Lodge since March 2013 and is a very committed member of the management team and brings a wealth of administration experience from her previous role of working for the Local Authority.

My name is Katrina O’Hagan and I’m a Registered Nurse with experience working in a variety of health and care settings, including acute hospital care and community & registered nursing homes. I am passionate about maintaining and improving the quality of life for those who require support. I also have a keen interest in supporting adults with a variety of cognitive impairments.

I’m Vicky and I have been working here at Kingfisher Lodge since April 2016. I began my career at Barchester working in the kitchen, but I soon realised that I wanted to spend more time with residents.

I’ve been a florist for over 10 years and enjoy showing residents my creative side.

I organise events, guest entertainers, all of our daily activities and one-to-one sessions for those who prefer not to join in with group activities.

I really enjoy this role and love coming to work.

Hi, my name is Karen, and I am the Head Chef here at Kingfisher Lodge. I was one of the first chefs to work here at Kingfisher lodge when we first opened its doors back in 2012.

I am lucky enough to have also worked at other Barchester homes. I really enjoy not only the cooking but the life outside the kitchen in and around the home in the lounges and dining rooms, chatting and joining in singalongs and activities with all the staff.

I really do thrive from interaction with the residents and enjoy listening to suggestions and unusual things to cook. I will always surprise residents with a special meal and a birthday cake.
