Meet the team

I have been at Wykeham House since 2016 in both administration and activities roles. I enjoy what I do and spending time with residents is a wonderful opportunity for me to enrich their days with a varied choice of activities. We like to speak to loved ones and residents about what they enjoy and would like to do. Also, we have a minibus, which we use for trips to local areas of interest and to places like the seaside.

Some nurses at Wykeham House have been here for over fifteen years. They are professional, knowledgeable and experienced in many aspects or general nursing care and supporting people living with dementia.

Reviews and updates for families are crucial and the team are here to answer questions and support residents and their loved ones.

My name is Richard, but people call me Ricardo, Taffy or Welshman, among other named!

I have worked at Wykeham House for over 10 years. I was employed as the Head Chef for the first 5 years, however, since then, l have worked as the Head of Maintenance.

I love my role, as no two days are the same! One minute l am plumber, then next an electrician, then a painter & decorator – just to name a few of the things l do!

The residents are foremost in my thinking and I believe our elders should always be treated with dignity and politeness and, above all, respect. I also enjoy the banter you get with residents and it is nice to hear some of their life stories. 

As a member of the Barchester family, l hope to be here for many more years to come, as this is one of the most satisfying jobs l have ever had. I love it!

Our well established team have been together for over five years. We strive to offer the best service and take pride in the fact that we very rarely have missing items of clothing! We understand that laundry issues can sometimes be a problem in care homes and we work closely with residents and loved ones to ensure that if there is anything specific regarding clothing or advice needed, we are here to help.
