Barchester Cubbington Mill Care Home

My name is Laura Russell, and I am the Home Manager here at Cubbington Mill.

I am a registered nurse and I qualified in 2009 studying at Coventry University. Since then I have spent time working as a senior nurse in a surgical ward before moving on to district nursing. I completed further studies at Birmingham University whilst district nursing and I love to learn and keep up to date with my nursing practice. It is through district nursing that I came to love nursing homes and took the plunge to go into deputising in a nursing home before progressing to management of nursing homes.

I am excited and privileged to be working for Barchester and warmly embrace the opportunities this position will give me. I have a very open approach and strive to deliver the highest quality care to the residents and their families. I look forward to welcoming you to Cubbington Mill.

Caitlin is a Registered Mental Health Nurse. As the Deputy she works closely with the home's General Manager and loves working on the Enable system, getting to know residents and showcasing my very best work.

Audrey has a wealth of knowledge and loves keeping fit and active. You will often see her on daily walks around the local area and she is always happy to stop and chat or invite you for a cup of tea in her room.

Audrey represents residents at monthly meetings and in the day-to-day running of the home, ensuring that they have a say in things, such as the menus and the types of activities on offer.

Hello, my name is Jackie and I'm the Cubbington Mill administrator.

Hi, my name is Rose and I am the activities coordinator at Cubbington Mill!

I have been working in care since I was 17 and am very passionate about my role. I am also currently studying paramedic science at Coventry University which I thoroughly enjoy. I'm very privileged to work with the wonderful people and residents at Barchester's Cubbington Mill and hope we all make some lovely memories together!

If you would like to get involved in any of our Life Enrichment activities or have a skill or project you'd like to share with our residents.

I have been working at Cubbington Mill since 2006 after being recruited in the Philippines and completing my adaptation training in London. Now I feel as if England is my home from home. I cared for my own grandparents for many years which began my passion for caring for the elderly which I have today.

Karen has worked at Cubbington Mill since the year 2000. She is trained in NVQ Level 2&3 in care. This alongside her many years of experience at Cubbington Mill means she not only delivers exceptional care to our residents but can also assist in training new carers so they can achieve the high care standards required when working for the home.

He is a "Green Leaf Champion" and in 2014, we achieved the “very good standard” award for environmental performance thanks to Waldemar’s continuous efforts to improve Cubbington Mill’s carbon footprint. Waldemar can often be found keeping our prize-winning gardens, for which we have received a gold award for the 10th consecutive year 'Leamington in Bloom'! He was also awarded Barchester's 'Maintenance Champion 2017'. When he is not decorating or busy in the gardens, he can be found driving the minibus on resident’s days out.

I can't wait to meet you all. So.... A little bit about me, I was a nurse ward sister for 27 years, specialising in Leukaemia in children and adults. I would like to think I am approachable kind, caring, funny and a good listener. If you aren't careful my practical jokes might catch you out so bear in mind you've been warned!

Laughter is the best medicine.
