Eden Court

What I Do
As the Village Manager at Eden Court, I have the privilege of overseeing this beautiful retirement village. Eden Court is truly unique—each time you step in, it feels special and welcoming. We strive to create an environment where both residents and their families can form a meaningful emotional connection.

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of care, ensuring that it goes beyond just our residents. I also take great pride in offering a workplace where staff feel valued, have fun and love to work, creating a positive and supportive environment for all.

My Experience
I hold a BSc Hons in Chemistry and Dementia Care Mapping from Bradford University, and I bring over 30 years of experience in the care industry. My journey began as a care assistant, and over the years, I have progressed through various roles, ultimately managing a range of care homes.

I specialise in turnaround projects for care homes and have had the privilege of leading teams within luxury brand care homes to achieve Outstanding ratings with the CQC. Throughout my career, I have been honoured with several awards, including Manager of the Year and Care Home Team of the Year, and have successfully commissioned brand new luxury care homes.

About Me
I believe in the power of laughter and enjoy having fun in everything I do. As a proud mother to three wonderful princesses, I cherish family and the joy they bring to my life.

In my free time, I love writing and playing music, as well as watching comedies that bring a smile to my face. Nature is a true source of inspiration for me, and I enjoy surrounding myself with vibrant colours and the beauty that the world has to offer.

What I do:

I am currently working as a Clinical Services Manager at Eden Court.
My Experience:

I completed my graduation in health studies from the London School of Management and Science and achieved a certificate for best service in Dementia course from Sterling University.

I have worked in various care settings which has fuelled my dedication to provide excellent care. My knowledge of clinical skills will enable me to continue to provide outstanding care with dignity and respect.

About me:

My enduring passion for nursing can be traced back to my childhood. I am inspired by Mother Teresa who strived hard to collect grains to feed the poor, help the destitute and nurse the leprosy.

I am blessed with two beautiful daughters, studying in senior secondary school. I have a lovely supportive husband who has a Doctorate in Hospital Management.

My hobbies are gardening, social work, current affairs and watching sports.

What I Do
As a Resident Service Advisor my role is to guide and assist all new enquiries and admissions at Eden Court. As the first point of call, I am responsible for showcasing the Retirement Village to all our prospective residents as well as being there to answer any questions they may have surrounding Eden Court. I also heavily focus on community engagement, making sure that Eden Court is recognized as a supportive, caring and friendly part of our local community.

My Experience
I started in care in 2018, where I worked as an Activity and Events Manager. I love being around residents and supporting their social needs. I became aware that one of the key times residents need the most support is when they are transitioning from their home to care. In 2021 I started working as a Residents Service Advisor and I have never looked back. I love helping families and residents find the right level of care, and be there for them at their start of their later-life journey. In 2024 I moved to Eden Court, where I was welcomed with open arms by the team and the residents alike.

About Me
I am all about Fun. I love creating memories with friends and families. I really enjoy a good city break and adore music festivals. I have two nephews who I love to spend time with. I recently completed a year in New Zealand with my partner which was an absolute highlight of my life, I look forward to having more adventures in the future.

My name is Nick and I am overjoyed to be the Home Administrator at Eden Court. I have over 21 years of experience in luxury five-star settings with strong leadership skills and management in Banking, Customer Service, Hospitality, and Health & Social Care.

I bring my excellent customer service skills to Eden Court, having worked previously in a Business and HR Administration role for Oakland Care. Having joined Eden Court, it’s great to make good use of my administration skills and experience to manage a busy admin office - processing incoming resident admissions and the day-to-day running of the home.

I chose Cinnamon Care because it is important for me to work for a company that treats everyone with respect and empowers the teams to create a unique resident experience. I enjoy being part of the success of Eden Court and being one big happy family.

What do I do:

As the Apartment Services Coordinator, my main role is to support our fantastic apartment owners to ensure a smooth and uncomplicated moving-in experience that is lasting. Subsequently, I work closely with them after the move-in to cultivate a community environment that feels like home. I am also privileged to work with both the Hospitality and Catering Teams to host different creative-themed galas and events for the Apartments.

My Experience:

Having worked in Social Housing for a number of years I understand how daunting it can be to relocate to a new home, so my experience allows me to assist in making the transition as smooth as possible. While my previous experience has largely been with young, vulnerable adults and families I am excited to bring some of my skills to Eden Court. I particularly enjoy working in a meaningful way, in a face-to-face role where I can create a positive mindset and most of all help others.

About me:

I recently completed my postgraduate qualification in Neuroscience and Psychology, so I have a deep understanding of isolation and loneliness which are a common concern, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic.

What I Do
As the Lead Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coordinator at Eden Court, I create weekly schedules focused on physical wellbeing, mental stimulation and social engagement. I organise a variety of activities, including group exercises, creative workshops, outings and social events, all tailored to our residents’ interests and needs.

I work closely with the local community, welcoming schools, clubs and volunteers to foster a sense of belonging. Additionally, I arrange external entertainment and specialist visits to provide diverse experiences. My goal is to create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

My Experience
I hold a degree in Sports and Exercise Science and a master’s in Sports Biomechanics, where I gained expertise in improving fitness and wellbeing for both athletes and the general population. While studying at Loughborough University, I worked part-time as an Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coordinator in a care home, where I saw firsthand the positive impact of physical, mental, and social activities on residents’ wellbeing and overall quality of life.

This rewarding experience inspired me to pursue a career in the care sector. After completing my studies, I returned to London and joined Eden Court as the Lead Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coordinator, where I combine my academic knowledge and practical experience to design programmes that enrich the lives of our residents.

About Me
I have always loved staying active. After my sprinting career was cut short by injury, I discovered aerial gymnastics. Now, I practise aerial straps, hoop and silks for both fitness and fun and they have become an important part of my life outside of work.
