Shaaron Caratella
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.

I have been working at Queens Court since 2005. During this period of time, I have faced many challenges and hurdles in order to reach the position I am in today. This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible team that we have here. I enjoy my job as head of hotel services; it has boosted my confidence and inspires me to achieve more.

Kwaku Tieku
My name is Kwaku and I am the Music Therapist for Queens Court Care Home. My job requires using music to unlock creativity and stimulate clients to communicate and express themselves where words fail. Through ringing and playing instruments memories are triggered, isolation is reduced and socialisation is promoted. To see the smiles and expression of joy on the faces of the residents is very fulfilling and it makes my role in Queens Court very enjoyable and worthwhile.
