Ovidiu Andreescu

Home Manager

Ovidiu Andreescu

Growing up in Romania and inspired by my mum who worked in the nursing profession, my dream was to become a nurse.

After graduating nursing school in 2013, I took the next steps and applied for my first RGN position in the UK. I then progressed to Clinical Lead and Deputy Home Manager, and finally to Home Manager.

I enjoy all aspects of managing a care home, including making it homely for my residents and offering personal care based on individual needs. It is important to me to support my staff to develop and succeed in their roles. I feel very privileged to be in a role which gives me such fulfilment and enables me to bring my knowledge, experience and skills to my team.

Our residents have a wide-range of personal interests and this is reflected in the activities we offer and the personal touches you will find around the home. Our community here is warm and welcoming. I would welcome anyone to come for a tour and I look forward to introducing you to all we have to offer at Ivy Court.

My nursing background has given me the ability to aid my colleagues with various challenges and support each resident in a very personalised way. Seeing the smiles on residents’ faces brings me so much satisfaction and I have found this role very rewarding.

Head Chef

My priorities are creating tasty fresh food, ensuring good nutrition and attending to residents’ individual dietary needs. I love my job, mostly for the joy I get seeing happy faces and receiving positive feedback about our food.

Wellbeing Coordinator

As wellbeing coordinator, my priorities are providing person-centred care, tailoring activities and encouraging participation. My role goes beyond arranging activities; it is one that can provide people with social interaction, exercise, engagement and a sense of inclusion.

I’m approachable and proactive in my role which can be very busy but extremely rewarding. I ensure that my team feel they can speak to me about anything and boost morale for everyone to make the home a fun and energetic place to work. 

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. 

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. 

Infection control

Every colleague receives training in infection prevention and control as part of their induction and updates regularly through online and in-person learning. Our dedicated IPC Champions in each home help embed safe working practices and raise awareness of hygiene standards.

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.
