Meet the Southerndown Care Home Team

Hello, my name is Eva and I am the Operations Manager here at Southerndown Care Home.  Welcome to our website!

I joined Barchester in June 2025 but, bring over 20 years’ experience of working in the healthcare sector.  I started my career as a Registered General Nurse in 2000, when I moved to England from my home country of Spain, and have run many homes as a Registered General Manager leading successful teams and creating thriving communities for residents, staff, families and the wider public.

I believe that outstanding care starts with amazing people, and I am passionate about creating a supportive and vibrant community where both staff and residents feel safe, valued and can flourish.  I am also an advocate for mental health awareness, wellbeing and encouraging positive psychology.  I want our residents to feel that life just begins when they join our care home, where we offer quality care, nutritious food, enriching activities in beautiful homely environments.

Outside of work I focus on staying active, whether this be walking, hiking, dancing or going to the gym.  I am fan of good food and, I am very lucky that my Husband is an amazing cook, so look forward to coming home to his delicious homemade cuisine.
