Meet the Ouse View Care Home Team

Hello. My name is Sue, I was Unit Manager at the home before being appointed Deputy Home Manager in May 2024.

I have been working in the care sector since 2010.

I have gained a vast amount of experience, knowledge and skills which I am able to put into practice at Ouse View. I am very passionate about person-centred care, and strive to consistently deliver the very highest standards of care.

Hi, my name is Mike, and I am the Clinical Development Nurse supporting our Yorkshire homes.  I started my career in care supporting people in the community and then attended Sheffield Hallam University where I completed my Nursing Degree.

Since qualifying, I have been a Nurse, Charge Nurse, Deputy Manager, Home Manager and then a Complex Care Nurse in the community before joining Barchester. Barchester shares my ideals of providing excellent care, and this provides the impetus to use my acquired skills and knowledge to support this.

My name is Louise and I am the Administration Manager at Ouse View.

I joined Barchester Healthcare in 2019 and I have over 13 years of administration experience specifically within the residential care sector.

I love working in a care home setting, and prior to taking up this role at Ouse View, I was the Administrator at another wonderful Barchester home, Lindum House in Beverley.

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. The home also has its very own minibus for our numerous outings for coffee and shopping, which residents love. We also enjoy our regular clubs, virtual events and varied life enrichment programme.
