Shaaron Caratella

General Manager

Hi, my name is Shaaron and I am the General Manager here at Queens Court. Welcome to our website!

I joined Barchester Healthcare in 1998. Prior to that, I worked in the NHS, where I developed my passion: the care of older people. After I qualified as an RGN, I continued to develop my career by studying for my BSc in Nursing Studies, my Diploma in Orthopaedics and my MSc in Health Sciences.

The team and I are committed to ensuring that the residents have a good quality of life. This is working with evidence-based practices on projects like nutrition, non-pharmaceutical interventions, life story work, and we advocate the Whole Home Approach Model.

We are proud to have consistently achieved good reports and reviews from those who know us. This is a very happy home and you are very welcome to visit us.

Radha Squires

Deputy Manager

I am Rhada. I have been part of Queens Court since 1996. My journey began here as a Care Assistant many years ago. I have had the opportunity to appreciate many learning opportunities and became a Care Practitioner in 2015. Queens Court recognised my capabilities and supported me to pursue my dream to become a nurse! I achieved my goal and graduated as a fully fledged nurse in 2019! I would like to thank sincerely our General Manager, Shaaron Caratella and the Queens Court Team for all their support during my career progression. 

Ivan Dos Santos

Senior Registered Nurse

Having joined Queens Court in 2019 I have developed many skills and am beginning to feel ready to look to other aspects of my career in particular leadership training. I love my job, looking after people and helping them be the best they can be is what inspires me the most! Apart from nursing I enjoy sports, the gym and I practice mindfulness and yoga. I'm really passionate about music and dance and quite often perform for our residents which is fantastic!
