Barchester Henford House Care Home

My goal is to ensure that all of our residents and their families and visitors feel comfortable and can enjoy being in this beautiful and welcoming environment; and that the staff feel fully supported to perform at their very best.
I began my career as a Speech and Language Therapist, working with adults in hospitals, care homes and in the community. Having moved into leadership and management has provided me the opportunity to drive high standards of care and ensure that people are valued as individuals. I am committed to continuing with these goals in line with the high standards and superior lifestyle delivered throughout Barchester.
The highlight of my work is spending time with the people we support, and I am always available to have a chat about our home, services, staff, and most importantly, our residents.

Hello, My name is Anna and I have been a Registered Nurse for 9 years, my background is in the community where I started my nursing journey as a District Nurse and later took on a Specialist Nurse role as a Nursing, Residential and Learning disabilities Specialist nurse for NEH. I later joined one of the homes I supported as the Deputy Manager, Clinical lead and Home trainer for 2 years. I moved to Wiltshire at the end of 2022 and have been a part of the Barchester family since then, as a Bank Nurse, working both days and nights. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of the team here at Henford House so when the opportunity arose, I applied for Deputy Manager and most gratefully got the job.

I’m a wife, and mum of 3 and also have 2 fur babies- Teddy and Bingo (cocker spaniels). I really enjoy singing and I’m part of the Military Wives Choir. I really believe that singing is good for the soul and can often be heard singing my way down the corridors here (not always in tune).

I am very excited to be a part of this wonderful team and to have the honour of supporting residents, relatives and colleagues.

I am one of the clinical leads at Henford House and have worked here a number of years. I know the residents well. I work on the night shifts mostly, but do carry out one day shift a fortnight so the residents can recognise me. I support the nursing and care staff and am available for residents and their family members to chat with and get information from.

I have a young son and l daughter who keep my home life busy!

I joined Henford House in January 2022, coming from the food industry it’s been an interesting change but I find one the best parts of my job is being able to have a chat with residents and hopefully helping to make their day better.

I have been at Henford House for more than 30 years. I am the Head of Housekeeping and I am responsible for keeping the housekeeping standards high. I am very proud of my role here and have a fantastic team which keeps the home in immaculate condition!

I oversee the laundry and the domestic teams, as well as supporting the kitchen team, I will gladly help out anywhere in the home.

I enjoy my position here, and I am always happy to help our residents and their families with questions or worries.
I have 3 grown-up children and a dog who all keep me very busy outside of work.

I have worked in Henford as a nurse since 2014.
I am usually found working on days and my husband Daniel works at night here. I have recently been promoted to Clinical Lead, which I am very proud of.
I support the nurses and the carers on duty. I am always happy to help out with any questions you may have about your loved ones here. I am in regular contact with the doctors and pharmacies to ensure medications are checked regularly, and our residents are healthy.
I originally came from Romania and can speak fluent Italian.

I joined Henford House in March 2014; after five and a half years of domiciliary care, this position became available at Henford and I decided that it would be great to do more of the fun things in life with residents! It is great here at home; we get along so well and truly have some laughs. Residents have a wide range of activities to participate in each week, including armchair exercises, bingo sessions, singalongs, musical entertainment, pottery, manicures, celebrations and much more. It is very rewarding knowing that people are grateful for the work I've done when I go. Working here has also given me the opportunity to gain my Level 2 NAPA certificate.

I have worked at Henford House for many years and enjoy my role. We all work together as a team and its a very happy place to be. I love being involved with the residents and even took on some care shifts. We are one big family!
