Meet the Lethen Park Care Home Team

Hi, my name is Patricia and I am the Deputy Home Manager here at Lethen Park.

I joined Barchester in September 2024 and I have quickly become attached to the home’s warm, family-like atmosphere. The sense of community here is truly special and I’m very proud of our team.

I previously worked as a nurse primarily in acute settings, and my previous experience as a clinical coordinator has provided me with valuable knowledge and experience which I bring to Lethen Park to achieve favourable outcomes.

As part of the management team, I am committed in assisting Annette, the general manager in providing the highest quality of care, ensuring each resident feels at home and that their families have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in caring and professional hands.
 

Hi, my name is Constance Ame-Bruce and I have been a nurse for 16 years and graduated from the University of Ghana. I take great passion in providing excellent care through meeting our resident’s needs.

My favourite part of my role is coming to work with an infectious smile and helping other have a smile!

Hi, my name is Kayleigh and I am the Home Administrator here at Lethen Park.  I joined Barchester and Lethen Park in 2022.  I deal with all aspects of the administration of the home to ensure it runs smoothly, from invoicing, ordering, recruitment, setting up contracts, to manning reception, there's never a full day!

My favourite part of the job is ensuring that all our families and residents needs are taken care off to the highest of standards. I have an open door approach and enjoy being front of house to warmly welcome you to the home.

We all know that keeping active is important. We have created a wonderful culture within the home and we work together to give residents the best possible experience. We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active. We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centered program of events and activities. Essential to our homely feel is the strong relationships of trust we build with residents and their families and friends

I live in Stonehaven with my wife and two kids, aged 7 and 1. My wife is also a doctor, so life can get very busy! I love spending time with my family and try to prioritise this as much as I can. To stay active, I practice Kuk Sool Hapkido (a Korean Martial Art), which I have been doing with my son for the last two years.
