Meet the Adlington Manor Care Home Team

Hi, my name is Danielle and I am the homes Deputy Home Manager at Adlington Manor.  I joined the team in 2019.

Hi, my name is May and I have been a registered general nurse since 2021. I have worked as a Unit Manager on the Memory Lane/Rowan community since May 2022. I pride myself with a strong moral compass while providing care with integrity and a strong focus on patient advocacy. I am opened and honest ensuring the highest quality of care in a person-centred manner is delivered to the residents we care for in our community. I am passionate about my role and about the difference we make in our residents life by putting them in the centre of their care.

I joined Adlington Manor over two years ago as a home Administrator, I love my role within the home and the great team we have.  I love the interaction with our residents and the team members alike and I feel like we are one big happy family.

My role at Adlington is to support the General Manager and the Deputy Manager with the business aspect of the home and to also support the residents and their families from the Pre-admission stage all the way through their stay.

I get great job satisfaction by being there to support and by also being supported by the team as we all strive to make a difference to all our residents as Adlington is there home and to also support their families.

I have settled in this role very well and love every aspect of working for Barchester at Adlington Manor Care Home.  I hope this is my forever job.

I have one son who is 29 years of age, he makes me so proud to be his mother.

I love holidays, reading, and walking.

I joined the activities team at Adlington Manor in May 2017. Previously, I have worked as a tree surgeon and have had heavy involvement with the Guides and Brownies. I love participating in activities with residents, whether that's by driving the minibus on trips outside the home, or by engaging in themed days.

I am passionate about my role and especially the challenge of coming up with new ways to engage as many residents as possible in our activities here. 

Hi, my name is Alfie, and I am the head chef here at Adlington Manor.

Orginally from the Philippines, I have worked here since 2011, starting as a kitchen assistant and working my way up to second chef, and now head chef. I finished my NVQ 2 Level 2 in Hospitality & Catering Principles in 2018.

I love my job, as I think that it is all about dedication and having a genuine passion for doing what is best for the residents. Our food is all homemade by our team, and we pride ourselves on our abilities to produce wonderful meals that the residents love to eat. Our team is passionate about food, and if the menu choices are not to residents' tastes, we always happy to make something alternative.

Hi, my name is Cliff and I am Head of Maintenance at Adlington Manor, I had worked since the 1990’s in social housing construction from tradesman through to construction site management, including 10-years in facilities management, working for a large charity and social enterprise organisation.

As well my trade experience I managed a combination of projects including school, supported and social housing and large professional offices as well as numerous environmental schemes. These varied roles allowed me to develop a greater understanding of not only construction, but also the wide variety of people living and working within them.

Head Housekeeper, Heather Finlow, leads the housekeeping team here at Adlington Manor, who have almost 50 years combined experience.

Heather and her team are responsible for maintaining Barchester’s high standards of cleanliness & tidiness, whilst still keeping a homely atmosphere in a building full of character.

She also oversees the smooth running of a full laundry service for those we support.

Hi, my name is Helen, and I am the admin assistant here at Adlington Manor.

I joined Adlington Manor Care Home in May of this year after providing care in the home in my local area.  I couldn’t wait to start and meet the residents, chatting to them and finding out what activities they enjoy joining in with, so that our programme can be tailored to each and every one of our residents.

I originally worked in Marketing, organising events, exhibitions and conferences and also managing our volunteer network including recruitment and training.  I took a step back from this to raise my family and have since been involved with volunteering for local and national groups as well as doing some part time work.  After I completed a degree in Human Communication Sciences, I knew I wanted to work with those who struggled with communication due to illness and diseases.  The Activity Coordinator role combines the residents’ communication needs where adjustment is necessary to meet their communication level and also my love of organising events and activities.  The welcome I have received by staff, residents and their families has been wonderful and I look forward to continuing to developing a full, rich and rewarding Life Enrichment programme for all of our residents in the months to come.
