Meet the Moors Manor Care Home Team

Hi my name is Laura and I am the Home Services Advisor here at Moors Manor. I am so excited to be here and to help families and residents who are looking for care. Being that first point of contact I am here to help and guide through the process. One of the things I love about my role is seeing a resident who may be a bit nervous about moving into a home and seeing them flourish after being here a few weeks.

In my spare time I run a local wind band which I also play the saxophone in so I look forward to my band coming in to entertain our wonderful residents.

Hi my name is Gemma and I am the Administration manager here at Moors Manor. I have worked for Barchester for 2 years and been in the care industry for 5 years.

The thing I love about my job is interacting with the residents especially when we have the events in the home.

I am married and have two children who keep me on my toes and we enjoy going to theme parks together as a family in my spare time.

Hi, My name is Bibesh Shrestha, Activity Coordinator for Moors Manor.

Having more than 10 years of professional experience in multiple sectors at different places have given me the confidence to get involved in any challenging environment where my skills and experience will be instrumental in achieving personal and social goals.

Being a motivator and influencer to the people around me has always been my passion, and also part of my profession. As an Activity Coordinator, my ultimate goal is to transfer my energy and spread my happiness.

Being active and full of energy with humbleness is what defines me and transferring that energy to the people around me has been my prime interest.

I joined Barchester in November 2020 after years of looking after buildings and facilities in colleges, hospitals and the emergency services. This is my first role in the care sector.

I like to make a difference and enjoy the challenges that come with maintenance and running a building. I look forward to keeping this home a happy and safe place for our residents.

I joined Barchester in January 2021 after 10 years of working in the hotel industry. I am responsible for maintaining Barchester’s high standards of cleanliness and tidiness. I keep a homely atmosphere at Moors Manor, for all the residents and their loved ones.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, sport (both doing and watching!), reading books and watching films.

I joined Moors Manor in June 2021. I am new to the care sector, having previously gained many years’ worth of admin and HR experience within a variety of other sectors.

I am enjoying learning all about the workings of a care home and have chosen a great company to learn from in Barchester! I love the variety and the customer facing aspect of my role, getting to know residents and their families.

I’m happy to be working with such a great team of people at Moors Manor and look forward to contributing to the home’s successful growth as we welcome more residents and staff moving forward.

I am Angelica Da  Silva, I have worked in care settings for many years and have had an amazing experience previously in a dementia care home.

I am passionate about working with people and  really enjoying being part of the team at Moors Manor. I enjoy spending my free time with my husband and son.
