Our team at
Parker Meadows

I started working here in 2019 as our Clinical Lead after working in another similar care setting. I am a qualified nurse, midwife and mentor. I have enjoyed the transition from a nurse, working on the care floor to becoming part of the management team and supporting all our team members to the best of my ability. I try to make every day an enjoyable day and love the interaction with the residents. 

I am involved with all aspects of the home which has earned me the fond name of ‘Busy Lizzie’ amongst my colleagues.

I have worked in care since 2008. In my role it’s incredibly important to understand the challenges an individual and their family have to consider when looking for a care home, and my experience and knowledge means I can always do my best to help them with any questions they may have so they are better supported to make the right choice for them.

I like to keep fit in my spare time. Having played different sports over the years, I still enjoy tennis, and recently I have started to enjoy walking/ hiking, something I plan to do more of around the UK in the future.

I joined the team at Parker Meadows in December 2021, prior to this I held a deputy role in another nursing home. I am a passionate nurse and qualified in 2013 in my home country of Romania before moving to England. I enjoy supporting the team to deliver exceptional care to all residents. I also support the management with the daily running of the home to ensure that we are all a success.

Since September 2012 I have been proud to have achieved NVQ 3 in both Health and Social Care and certificate in Understanding the Principles of Dementia. In my role I need to have good listening skills and understanding of others likes, dislikes and abilities; this enables me to plan both group and individual activities to allow residents to have fun whilst keeping their interests and personal beliefs as part of their lives.

I joined the Parker Meadows team in May 2022, and I have over 30 years’ experience in the catering and hospitality industry at both Head Chef and within management. I have a diploma in catering management including allergy awareness, and food safety and nutritional health.

I love to use my knowledge and experience to create mouth-watering and exciting menus for all the residents. I believe mealtimes should be the highlight of the day for residents. Colourful, balanced and healthy food can make a real difference and lift everyone’s spirits. I have a great team and we all strive for the best.

I joined the Parker Meadows team in May 2023. I have a history within the care industry with my last role being a deputy manager of a supported living complex. I enjoy working in a varied role as this will test my skill set and enables me to learn and better support the team and residents. I am currently studying to complete my Level 5 health and social care. In my spare time I enjoy dancing and long seaside walks.

I have worked here since December 2012 and have achieved my NVQ Level 2, 3 and 4 in care and NVQ Level 5 Diploma in leadership. As well as winning Registered Manager award. Previous to that, I was an assistant Manager for Hampshire County Council for 20 years, overseeing the day-to-day running of the home supporting the Home Manager.

We need to have empathy, understanding, and be caring. I love interacting and listening to residents, showing them I really care. I work hard to fill their days with laughter and activity, both within the home and outside in our gardens. I enjoy talking and having a laugh with them, and maybe sit having a cup of tea and a natter with a slice of cake. Having that time with them makes a lot of difference.

I joined Parker Meadows in May 2023. This opportunity was exciting for me as I will be able to develop my career in a well-established company like Care UK. I believe my skills, experience and approach are very well suited for the job/home. I have enjoyed a varied career from care to housekeeping, most recently in Chichester Cathedral. With the team I hope to ensure our residents live in a clean and homely environment.

I have been working here since it first opened in 2012, and I am therefore very close with not only the other members of the team but also all of the residents. I enjoy welcoming new residents and their families, making their visits as pleasant as possible, as well as making it feel like home to everyone who lives here. Before I moved to England, I lived in Poland, The Netherlands and France. When living in Poland I studied law and sociology and then ultimately got a degree in sociology.

I joined Parker Meadows in July 2023, I have over 15 years’ experience in the education sector as a multi-site manager. With the skills that I have gained from my previous role, I work hard daily to ensure that the residents are always enjoying the high level of comfort and safety in their everyday living areas. I am proud to be a part of the Parker Meadows family.
