Meet our friendly care team

The dedicated and experienced team at Mildenhall Lodge will provide your loved one with care that’s completely tailored to their individual needs and wishes.

Deepa Reju

Home Manager

The team and I consider it a huge privilege to care for older people and are proud that their families trust us to care for them.

This is a lovely friendly and happy home, with a great family atmosphere. We look forward to welcoming you here soon. 

Hannah Nurse
Deputy Manager

I started working at Care UK in 2014.

I first joined the company working through an agency for Glastonbury Court, then when I saw there was an opportunity at Davers Court I wanted to join the brilliant team.

I am proud to have worked my way up through the company, having started in the domestic team then moving into care and into a managerial position as a residential lead.

I love working at Mildenhall Lodge because of the challenge of my new role and I’m excited to build new relationships with staff and most of all the lovely residents and families here.

To be successful in this role you need to have patience, empathy, and an understanding of different residents, staff, and family members. You should be polite, always be there to listen, and try and understand every situation through different eyes.

The best part of my job is seeing the residents happy, having fun, and being able to live their lives the best they can.

A big passion of mine is football and I love to spend time with my daughter, and we love to watch her dad playing football all weekend. 

Nick Georgiou
Head Chef

I am an experienced Head Chef, and have been working for Care UK for over ten years now.

I’m passionate about great food and about the importance of food and dining in residents’ experience in the home. 
The kitchen is the heart of a care home, like it is in any home, so my team and I take huge pride in ensuring that every resident at Mildenhall Lodge is happy with the service and the food that we’re offering them.

Quality is important when it comes to food, and so is variety. We ensure that our menus are tailored to the dietary needs and tastes of each resident. In that way we’re able to make a clear and positive difference to the residents through a great food and dining experience.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and family, and socialising with friends and loved ones. Looking ahead, I’m looking forward to continuing to make a difference to residents’ lives and to improving the standards of the home in food and dining.

Marina Dunbavin
Lifestyle Lead

I’m passionate about organising fun events (I used to be entertainment secretary for Mildenhall Social Club, booking acts and entertainment and a busy bingo night).

I think in this role you need to enjoy life and be larger than life: it’s up to me to provide a happy environment for residents, after all. I’m often making a fool of myself, being the first one to sing or dance, but if it makes residents smile, and means they’ve had fun, that’s what matters.

Music makes our residents come out of themselves, so I love it when we have musical entertainers. Residents smile, sing, dance and sometimes cry as they’re reliving old times with loved ones. Above all, the music lasts all day in some form – I’ll walk past a lounge and someone will be singing a song – which is lovely.

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. 

Infection control

Each of our homes have a trained Infection Control and Prevention Champion – they are responsible for carrying out daily infection control audit and ensuring cleaning protocols are meticulously applied.
