Meet the team

Carla joined Wheatlands in February 2015 as Team Leader on Elderly Frail unit. She provides high quality care to ensure comfort and dignity to each of our residents, as well as providing leadership to a team of carers and contributing to the individualised person centred care planning process for each resident, recording appropriate interactions and observations.

Carla commenced in the care sector in 1992 as a Carer and has progressed in her career enjoying the interaction and commitment by looking after residents in a person centred way. 
Carla enjoys sharing a laugh with both families and residents and makes time to get to know each one individually and their family member so they feel comfortable to approach her at any time.

It is very important to Carla to create a safe, respected, caring and supportive environment in which residents are happy and content.

Carla lives in Telford with her family and a loving husband, has 2 grown up children and 2 wonderful grandchildren.

Hi, my name is Claire and I am the Activities Coordinator. I have worked at the Wheatlands since February 2012 and started my career here as a Care Assistant, but when the opportunity arose to become an Activities Coordinator, I jumped at the chance. Since then, I have loved every moment and enjoy the interactions with residents.

I have a great job ensuring that residents are happy and have loads of fun in and out of the home. We have a varied weekly and monthly activities program, which includes tea parties in the Vintage Café, arts & crafts, baking, board games, quizzes, canal trips, soup lunches and visits from local entertainment, who provide live music for the residents to get up and dance to – even with some lovely wine or lager (whatever tickles your fancy!). We also have movie afternoons/evenings on our big screen TV.

Our aim at the Wheatlands is to ensure that residents are as happy as they can possibly be and enjoy living at the home.

Lynda joined Wheatlands in 1997 as a Domestic Assistant. She has worked her way up and is now Housekeeper. Lynda is responsible for both housekeeping and laundry, and has a team of domestic assistants and laundry staff to ensure Wheatlands is presented in a clean and tidy manner at all times. She enjoys interacting and chatting to residents and ensuring a prompt laundry service is provided. 

Lynda lives locally and in her spare time has fun with her family and friends. She has three grown up daughters and seven grandchildren who keep her very active and busy.
