I’m Darius Ivana, the Deputy General Manager at Cadbury Hall, having joined the team in November 2024. With over five years of experience in the care sector, I’ve developed a strong passion for supporting elderly people and ensuring that their needs are met with the utmost compassion and professionalism. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of care settings, always with a focus on delivering person-centred care and promoting the well-being of those I support.

At Cadbury Hall, one of my core responsibilities is to support the General Manager in the day-to-day running of the facility, ensuring we maintain the highest standards of care and a positive environment for both residents and staff. I’m committed to making sure that our residents’ needs are met on a daily basis, providing them with the care, dignity, and respect they deserve.

In addition to resident care, I place great importance on the well-being and support of our staff. I believe a happy and well-supported team is key to delivering outstanding care. I work closely with staff to ensure they have the resources, training, and support they need to excel in their roles, and I encourage a collaborative, team-oriented environment. Together, we aim to provide exceptional care and create a positive, supportive atmosphere for everyone at Cadbury Hall.

I’m also in the process of completing my Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care, which will further enhance my ability to lead with confidence and insight. As I continue to grow in my role, I’m excited to work alongside such a dedicated team, continually striving to improve the lives of our residents and contribute to the ongoing success of Cadbury Hall.

My name is Angela and I started with Barchester Healthcare in July 2024.

I consider myself very fortunate to be part of a team that works so hard to deliver warm and compassionate care in a luxurious setting where residents thrive and enjoy life! I’m here to work along side all of the staff at Cadbury Hall to enrich the residents lives by making everyday as enjoyable as possible filled with stimulating activities, laughter and interaction with the wider community.

I volunteer with Macmillan and Penny Brohn UK as part of their outreach programs in my spare time. I enjoy a variety of activities outside of work including Pilates, walking, yoga and I’m learning to play golf.

Part of my role is to work alongside the home’s exceptional team by supporting potential residents and their families when considering care options. I’m here to answer all your questions and support you through your decision making journey . To make it as easy and stress free as possible.

With the support of all staff at Cadbury Hall and feedback from residents, we aim for a varied and person-centred activity schedule to help the residents lead rich and fulfilling lives. The best part of my day is seeing the residents get stuck in with the activities and looking at the smiles on their faces.

I moved to Cadbury Hall because I enjoy the satisfaction and the personal connection to the residents. No, two days are the same, thanks to the wonderful residents I get to engage with day-in and day-out.
