Cassie Munnoch
Hi, my name is Cassie and I am the General Manager here at The Fernes. Welcome to our website!
I have worked in care for many years in various roles but by far my favourite role is here, as General Manager at The Fernes. I enjoy working with a team who are passionate about what they do and ensure that everyday is the best possible, for all of our residents.
Life here at The Fernes is like no other. We have a fabulous environment which I pride myself on keeping immaculate and the care we deliver is bespoke and individual for each resident
Our residents' days are filled with fun and laughter and of course - learning! Here at The Fernes we believe that residents should lead an even more fulfilled life than they have led at home.
I look forward to meeting you soon

Claire Binnie
Hello, my name is Claire. Two years ago I joined the housekeeping team at The Fernes as an assistant. Over that time, I have enjoyed getting to know all the residents, their families and staff. I have always been a caring person after looking after my parents in their later lives.
I decided to change direction in my work from childcare to helping make the life for the older generation more comfortable and enable them to celebrate their lives to the full. Listening to the resident's stories and getting to know their families is an honour and a privilege.
In September 2019 I became Head Houskeeper and now lead a team of 5 housekeepers with support from my manager Sarah. All of the housekeeping team endeavour to undertake Barchesters values in our work and to respect everyone at The Fernes and do our best in all we do and are very committed to making The Fernes a safe, clean environment to live in and work in, filled with life, fun, laughter and friendship.

Hayley Harris
I love that everyday is different here on Memory Lane. I enjoy listening to the residents' stories, sharing their photos, memories and hearing about their early days. What drives me is seeing the positive impact I have on an individual life. I love seeing the residents happy!
My passion is supporting people with dementia and palliative care, which I am a champion for both.
