Kristina Jacunskiene

Home Manager

Kristina Jacunskiene

I joined Care UK in 2014 because it has a reputation for having a clear vision of the high-quality care it aims to provide.

It also helps its people to do their best work. All of that was very similar to my own professional values.

I am a family-orientated person and, outside of work, love spending quality time with my loved ones. I am a keen traveler and love exploring foreign countries, where I learn and experience other cultures.

As a Home Manager, you need to be available for residents, their families and your colleagues at any time. It’s a big responsibility but also a huge privilege. My favourite part of the day is interacting with residents, being able to share their special moments and learn from their wisdom.

My ambition is to lead the Sherwood Grange team by example, by putting quality first in everything we do for residents and their families, and to be the care provider of choice in the community.

Biba Mijalceva
Deputy Manager

I became a registered general nurse in 1993, and I joined Care UK in September 2017 for a fresh challenge.

I’ve worked in different areas of nursing, including caring for people with complex disabilities and brain injuries.

I believe it’s important to be open and honest, and to have empathy and compassion in this role. I work as part of the team to ensure residents are always receiving the best, personalised care. I love making individual residents smile – we can all make a difference to a person’s day. 

Throughout 2018 and 2019 we’ve been implementing our own vision and values, which the team have fully embraced. Sherwood Grange has also been working with Care UK in a ‘Good to Great’ programme to focus on achieving an outstanding rating at our next CQC inspection. We’re determined to do it! 

Richard Harvey
Customer Relations Manager

I had worked in the printing industry for 40 years before the pandemic led me to make a career change.

I was keen to make a difference to people’s lives and give something back, which brought me to Sherwood Grange.

As the first point of contact for many families approaching Sherwood Grange for the first time, it’s important that I am approachable, understanding and professional. I always use the phrase ‘ears to listen and shoulders to cry on’. I find it very rewarding to help families through what can be an emotional and challenging experience of finding a care home for a much-loved family member. If I can make the process easier and less stressful, then that’s a job well done.

I enjoy meeting and chatting to all the residents here at the home. I play the guitar and sometimes bring it along to play for the residents, which they enjoy. Family is the most important thing to me, and I love being with my family. I also like to relax by running and watching Fulham FC play.

Our hardworking teams always keep individuals and their families at the heart of the care they provide.

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.
