Meet the Magnolia Court Care Home Team

Our wonderful team comprises nurses, carers, activities coordinators, chefs, housekeepers and more. These people are here to ensure that residents enjoy their time at the home and are supported to live life to the fullest. Meet some of our staff below:

Lenie Reyes Terrado

General Manager

Hello. My name is Lenie and I am the General Manager here at Magnolia Court. Welcome to our home!

I joined Barchester Healthcare as General Manager at Magnolia Court, with twenty-six years’ experience in the Care industry, with vast experience in a care setting, having worked in a Jewish Care Nursing home from 1996 until 2017, where I adopted the Jewish culture enabling me to cater for residents’ needs.

From 2017, then went to work as an Administrator for a privately owned Company specialising in nursing care for elderly frail residents, some of whom were living with dementia and went on to complete my NQCF Level 5 Diploma in ‘Leadership and Management in Health and Social Care’ where I then progressed to become the Registered Manager and continue to develop my experience, knowledge and skills. 

I feel privileged for the opportunity to lead my team who are hard-working and dedicated to caring for our residents and their relatives at Magnolia Court and who have all made me felt so welcome. We all work hard to ensure that every single resident receives person-centred care and stimulation in our beautiful home where life enrichment is designed to ensure our residents continue to live their lives to the full.

Magnolia Court has a warmth and virtuous atmosphere where our hospitality provides a premium dining experience for residents and their love ones, a private dining room for family celebrations, as well a beautiful, secure garden.

I’m enjoying getting to know everyone and very happy being given the opportunity to manage this home where we are providing first class care and being part of our local community!”

Deputy Manager

John O'Meara

I have been working at Magnolia Court for just over 10 years. I started as an Adult Registered Nurse which led to an opportunity to be a Unit Lead for our Memory Lane dementia community.


I started my Deputy Manager role in September 2023 which allows me to apply my nursing and management experience, caring for our residents and staff in all departments, giving me satisfaction with the support I am able to provide.


I also enjoy giving my input in ways of leading the home toward providing an excellent service, enriching the lives of those who live here and those who work here too.


Aside from work, I play the guitar, support Tottenham Hotspur Football Team and enjoy walking my pug whose name is 'Pon', every day, which is a great comfort to me.
