Luminita Triff

Home Manager

I joined Care UK in 2015 after achieving my nursing qualification in Romania and working there as a Nurse.

I was looking for a new challenge and decided to apply for a nursing job in the UK. Care UK was recommended to me, and I’ve been here for the past eight years.

Moving to the UK and succeeding in my role in a completely new health system has been the biggest professional challenge in my career. I’ve risen the ranks, starting as a nurse and moving to Clinical Lead to Deputy Manager and now Home Manager.

To do this job well, it’s important to be caring and compassionate, have effective communication skills, problem solving skills, leadership and resilience. My favourite part of the working day is when I feel that I’ve made a positive difference in someone’s life. I aim to do the best I can to fulfil my job role while practising kindness.

Since I moved to the UK, the residents at Prince George House and my colleagues have become my second family, and I love and value them all as much as my own family.

When I’m not working, I like to chat with my son and his family who live in Romania. I also unwind by reading, listening to music, playing training programmes to improve my language skills, watching films, and travelling.

Julie Dennis
Customer Relations Manager

I joined the team at Care UK after working for 15 years in the banking sector.

Moving into the care sector was a complete change – and a steep learning curve – but Ive never looked back. I was keen to make a difference to peoples lives and I love the fact that my role at Prince George House enables me to do that.

Moving to a care home can be an extremely difficult and emotional time for families, so Im proud to be able to make that journey a little easier. My role involves meeting and guiding potential residents and their families through the process of choosing a care home. 

There is a fantastic atmosphere here at Prince George House, and the team work tirelessly to provide the best care for residents.

Caroline Lloyd
Head Chef

I’ve been working at Prince George House since 2013.

As well as enabling me to further my catering career and learn new skills, it’s been fantastic to have been in a role where I’ve been able to help and support the residents. I’ve worked my way up from kitchen assistant to second chef, and now head chef, which I’m proud of.

I know how much the residents look forward to meal times and I enjoy sending out the meals knowing that there’s a big expectation from them! I enjoy hearing their feedback and when I can I like to get out of the kitchen to chat to them. I’m always keen to ensure we’re giving them what they want, and that’s the best way to find out.

Sarah Bacon
Business Administrator

I have worked for Care UK since 2016.

I started my care career after 14 years in retail, as I wanted to try something new and find a new passion. This is when I took the leap into care in an independent home and then I was given the opportunity to work with Care UK, and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

At Prince George House no day is ever the same, and it’s great to be part of a team that supports each other and is like one big family. One of my favourite parts of the day is watching and listening to all the laughter and singing from the coffee shop throughout the day due to all the different activities that take place. It’s so wonderful to see so many residents getting involved and how this brings a wonderful energy to our home.

In my spare time I love to travel and see new countries, I absolutely love exploring and some of the residents have even given me advice on different places to travel. I also love spending time with my family especially my nieces and nephews.

Claire Mann
Receptionist

I spent many years working in an accounts department before I took time out to care for my children.

When I was ready for a new challenge, this seemed like a good opportunity. It was a challenge getting back into the workplace and learning new skills, but I’m so pleased I took the step.

I enjoy meeting new people and helping them and keeping busy. No two days are the same at Prince George House. One of the highlights of what I do is chatting to the residents and their relatives. It may seem like a small thing to have a cup of tea and a chat with a person, but it can make their day.

I enjoy hearing positive feedback from relatives. It gives you a boost knowing that people appreciate what you’re doing for them and their loved ones. The smiles on the faces of residents make everything worthwhile.
