Meet the Beaufort Grange Care Home Team

Hello, my name is Leena and I am the Clinical Lead working as a Registered Nurse at Beaufort Grange since March 2020.

I have been a registered nurse since 2004 after completing my nurse training at the Moolchand Medcity in India.  I have a health care experience of over 15 years in a number of specialist areas including medical surgical and dialysis.  

I work hard to meet professional goals, I am always willing to learn, empathetic towards everyone and also have a critical thinking capacity.
I believe in evidence-based nursing care to improve the outcome. I always make sure that care practice contains six core values: Care, Compassion, Competence, Communication, Courage, and Commitment.

Hello, I am Holly and I have worked within the healthcare sector for over 10 years. My background is supporting those living with dementia.

Hello, I am Nita and I have worked as a nurse for over 20 years, and have worked in a variety of settings with the elderly. I enjoy helping those who require more complex care and those who are living with dementia. I like building relationships with residents, relatives, colleagues and health professionals and greatly enjoy my role at Beaufort Grange.

Hello, I'm Peter. I've been a nurse for over 14 years. I'm a registered nurse with certification in public health and occupational health nursing. 

Right from childhood, I've been so fascinated with care for the human body. This fascination led me to study nursing, and through that, I developed compassion for human care and the art of nursing generally. Prior to my move to the United Kingdom, I worked in different departments of hospitals in southern Nigeria. I worked as an occupational health Nurse in different field locations such as seismic, offshore, and oil rigs. My background in public health and occupational health nursing, which is geared towards disease prevention, work safety, accidents, and incident management at the workplace, helps my performance as a nurse in this Beaufort Grange care home.

Personally, nursing affords me the opportunity to touch human lives, and doing this gives me so much satisfaction

Hello, my name is Abiola Ajayi. I started work as a nurse at Beaufort Grange 2022. I have been a nurse since 2014. I graduated from the Osogbo School of Nursing where I obtained my diploma in nursing after which I proceeded to Ladoke University of Technology, Ogbomosho, Nigeria where I was awarded Bachelor of Nursing Science in 2019. I have had extensive work experiences across medicare which included Hospital and pharmacy. I initially worked at the Catholic Hospital, Ipetu-Ijesa after which I worked at Kubwa general Hospital in Abuja. While working at these various locations, I have had the privilege to work in Accident and Emergency, Adult and Paediatric wards. Adult ward is where I cut my teeth as a nursing staff and spent the most of my professional years. I believe that the job of a nurse goes beyond being a profession. It is a call to something much bigger than you, consequently, I endeavour to treat everyone who comes into my care with respect, care and kindness. Hard work and compassion are also fulcrums of my professional engagements with anyone I meet along my Professional interactions.

Hello, I am Loressell and I have been a nurse for over ten years, since completing my degree at Saint Gabriel College in the Philippines. 

Before moving to the UK, I worked in a private hospital as a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit nurse for two years in Saudi Arabia; after that, I transferred to a prestigious University Hospital working on a surgical ward.

For me, nursing is dynamic, so I decided to change to a community care setting, providing care to older adults who needed help and support in their day-to-day lives. I joined Beaufort Grange as a registered nurse in 2021, I am very thankful and blessed to be part of a caring and reputable home and company.
