Fiona Yurteri

Home Manager

I have been at Southlands Place for over eight years and am proud to have been promoted from Deputy Manager to Home Manager in that time.

As a registered general nurse, I started out my career at Hurstwood Park Neurological centre working in the intensive care unit specialising in brain trauma and injury, supporting patients with Neurological deficits. From there I transferred my skills into working with residents living with dementia. I have previously managed Nursing Homes and supported the needs of a diverse range of residents.

It is important to me that our residents receive the care and respect that they deserve and that they see this as their home and family. Everyday myself and my team want to make a difference to our resident’s lives, seeing a smile on their face and laughing makes everything worthwhile. I have an amazing team around me and it is important to me that my team are supported in their roles to assist our residents, as well as giving them the opportunity to develop and learn new skills as this is what has helped me throughout my career.

Outside of work, I enjoy running, reading, walking along the seafront and spending time with family and friends, as well as supporting local charities through fundraising activities. I hope to welcome you to Southlands Place soon, I’d be delighted to show you around. Best wishes, Fiona.

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.
