Meet the Claremont Parkway Care Home Team

Hi, my name is Benazir and I am the Deputy Manager and Clinical lead here at Claremont Parkway Care Home.

I started my professional journey as a Paediatric and Neonatal Nurse in India and worked across Middle East countries as a NICU nurse specialist before moving to England in 2019 and starting with Barchester in December 2020. I have extensive experience in clinical care, palliative care and practice development, nursing management and mentoring. 

My role as Deputy Manager is to support our General Manager in running the home, and lead the clinical team of nurses, care practitioners and care assistants to provide high quality, person- centred care that exceeds regulatory standards. I am passionate about our residents and committed to supporting friends and family members of our residents throughout their stay. Feel free to approach me anytime to have a chat, I am happy to help you always!

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 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 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.
