Joel Fronda Ignacio

Home Manager

Joel Fronda Ignacio

I’m a Registered General Nurse and I also have degrees in Accounting and Finance.

I joined Care UK because I wanted to be part of a prestigious company focused on delivering outstanding care.

Being a Home Manager draws on all my skills and training – you need to have an eye for the financial side while being committed to delivering first class care. People management skills are a must, and a level of creativity is needed too. It’s a demanding job, but I relish every day. 

It’s a privilege to care for older people and I’m determined to deliver the very best for them. 

Caroline Thomas
Customer Relations Manager

I used to work in corporate sales and marketing, however, when I took a year off to care for an older relative, the experience put me onto a new path. I decided to bring my skills and experience to Care UK so that I could help families at a time when they really need help and support. 

One of the biggest challenges for me in making a career change was educating myself about dementia. There’s so much to understand about it and the different forms it takes, and how to help people to live well with dementia. I’ve loved it though, I’d say making the move to care has been the highlight of my career. 

Our experienced teams

Every day Care UK colleagues live our values of passionate, caring and teamwork to empower residents to enjoy fulfilling lives.

Carers

Our hardworking teams always keep individuals and their families at the heart of the care they provide. We work with you to shape the care your loved one receives, the food they’re served, the activities and experiences they want to do – even the ways they prefer to keep in touch with their friends and family. 

Nurses

The nurses at Care UK are highly skilled and receive sector-leading training, which enables them to keep developing expertise in different clinical fields from dementia to palliative care.

Lifestyle

Our dedicated lifestyle teams work hard to organise a range of activities and events at our home. From gardening and baking to quizzes, music sessions and even live entertainment. Above all, we get to know your loved one to make sure our activities are tailored to suit their interests and hobbies.

Home support roles

From catering to maintenance, housekeeping to administration, our home support teams play a crucial part in ensuring individuals enjoy an exceptional and safe service every day.

All our teams get to know each person they care for to ensure they provide a service that’s designed around their unique needs and tastes.
