Meet the Claremont Parkway Care Home Team

Hello. I am Elena. I'm a nurse and I work at nights. I believe it is important to support residents with their evening routines whether that is relaxing in their rooms or spending time with other residents. I make sure evening and morning medication is taken on time and I check residents are as comfortable as possible when they go to bed and throughout the night. We also make sure everyone has the bed and mattress they need according to their needs. And then I look forward to helping people begin the new day feeling as well as they can. I am always happy to tell families more about how we support night-time routines and answer any questions.

Hello. I am a nurse and I work day shifts as I like helping people to enjoy their day by giving them all the support they need. This includes issuing and reviewing medication, treating any medical conditions residents may have, monitoring nutrition and hydration, liaising with healthcare professionals such as doctors and therapists, and working with our own team of carers and activities staff to make every day fulfilling. I enjoy getting to know families so I can put their minds at ease about the wellbeing of their loved one.

Hello. I'm Amancita and I am delighted to have returned to Claremont Parkway having worked here previously. I am a nurse with many years experience which I put into practice every day when I spend time with residents. My colleagues say I am always happy. If I ever feel any stress I sing! I get to know residents really well and like to brighten their days.

Hello. I am Emma, the Home Administrator at Claremont Parkway.
I have worked here for over 10 years in several roles so I feel I know the home, the residents and the team really well. I support the work of our General Manager and help residents and families with paperwork and financial matters.

Hi, my name is Daxter and I'm the activities coordinator here at Claremont Parkway. I've worked within care homes since moving to Kettering and have experience across the departments giving me a good understanding of all our resident's needs.

I'm passionate about providing tailored activities that truly engage each and every resident. Through getting to know them as individuals, I can work together with my colleagues to find life enriching experiences; small or large that will brighten their days whilst they reside with us.

We are always open to new ideas. If you would like to get involved in any of our Life Enrichment activities or have a skill, or project you'd like to share with our residents, please click here to contact me direct. New entertainers and community links are always welcome.

Hi. My name is Jorge and I am the Head Chef at Claremont Parkway.

I am passionate about providing delicious, nutritious menus every day, with a choice of new foods and residents' favourites. Food is freshly cooked in our own kitchen and we can blend or thicken food and drinks for residents who require some support with swallowing. We also have Dining Hosts to provide assistance with menu choices and serving.  We have lots of celebrations and special events here so the Kitchen Team and I make lots of cakes and treats.

Hello. I'm Steve, Head of Maintenance.

I joined the Claremont Parkway team in 2020, transferring from another Barchester home where I worked for four years.

I enjoy all aspects of my role including regular maintenance, assembling equipment and furniture, reactive maintenance if something is not working properly, and carrying out routine inspections to make sure everything is safe.

I enjoy keeping the home attractive and welcoming for residents, their families and other visitors. I particularly like helping residents to arrange their rooms exactly as they like them, so it is a real home from home.

Hello, my name is Madalina and I'm the Head of Housekeeping here at Claremont Parkway.

I joined the Claremont Parkway team in 2016. Starting in laundry and working my way up to learn all the necessary skills to provide the quality of service Barchester Healthcare requires of a Head of Housekeeping. I'm an organised person who believes everything has its place. It is a daily pleasure for me being able to care for our residents’ rooms and their belongings. Getting to know them, and their families is real privilege.

I’m a local lady with a teenage son, husband and dog! With a passion for horticulture and house plants the flora in and around Claremont Parkway will also be safe in my hands.

Hello. I am Barbara, a Care Practitioner at Claremont Parkway. My role is to support the work of the Nurses so I help with medication rounds and wound dressings, as well as working as a Senior Carer. I have been part of the Claremont Parkway team since 2012 and I love what I do. Every day is different and I enjoy being able to make residents feel as comfortable, supported and healthy as possible.

Hello. We are Jess and Chloe, and we are Senior Care Assistants at Claremont Parkway. On a daily basis we help residents to get up in the morning, check how they have slept and support them to get ready for the day. We make sure they feel good about themselves, and help them to take part in what they want to do that day. We monitor weight, nutrition and hydration, too, and respond to their needs throughout the day until they are ready for bed. We love getting to know residents' families when they visit.

Hello. We are all Carers at Claremont Parkway. We enjoy looking after residents and making sure every day is as good as it can be for them. We get to know each person as an individual so we can provide the care and activities they enjoy. If you are visiting a relative please let us know if there is anything else we can do.

Hi. My name is Elain and I help to deliver the daily programme of activities and entertainment and celebrations - there is always a birthday to celebrate! I like to see residents making friends and chatting with each other. I have a background in dance, music and acting, and I am also a qualified Zumba instructor, so I love it when we have entertainers in the home. We also have regular visits by therapy pets which residents find very relaxing.
