My name is Christina and I have many years of experience in the care sector. I am responsible for the day-to-day running of Marriott House & Lodge.

I take pride in taking care of residents' daily requirements whilst also managing the care team. Quality of care is always my top priority, and I strive to deliver the highest standard possible to those we support.

My name is Sarah and I have worked at Marriott House and Lodge for over 15 years in a variety of roles.

I began my Barchester journey as a Night Care Assistant in 2000. Through completing care qualifications, I progressed to Senior Care Assistant and, more recently, I have also adopted the responsibilties of a Care Practitioner as well. I have also been involved in activities within the home and have lead the Activities Team for many years. I have completed many training courses through the Barchester Healthcare Training Academy, which have further enhanced my skills in a range of areas, including, care, activities and providing training. I now share my time between being a Care Practitioner and leading the Activities Team.

Leading the Activities Team means that I work with a group of staff and volunteers to provide activities for the residents that help to keep them active and stimulated. My duties include planning events for residents and their families, organizing day-to-day activities, arranging outings, and also offering residents that very crucial one-to-one time. I work closely with local groups, meaning that Marriott House & Lodge remains a key part of the local community with regular visitors who offer support to families and friends.

I am very much involved in the ‘whole home approach’ in regards to the care we provide as a care home; my hands-on approach allows me to work closely with all members of the team and help them to develop their skills. 

Dignity in care is a particular area that I am always keen to promote within the home and I believe that we can all enhance the lives of residents.

In my spare time I enjoy being with my dog, Chester, who I bring to work with me most days. I also enjoy reading and spending time with my friends and family.

My name is Neal. I joined Barchester Healthcare in 2012 as maintenance assistant and am now the maintenance manager and health and safety ambassador for the home. I lead a team of maintenance staff who work hard to maintain the Barchester standards around the homes whilst ensuring it is a safe place to live. I am qualified painter and decorator and have completed many training courses within Barchester to enhance my skills.

In my spare time I enjoy cooking and watching my beloved team Liverpool play football.
