Meet the Milford House Care Home Team

Juliana is a RN with 6 years of experience at St Peter’s Hospital in Chertsey and is now looking to support General Manager, Aga and the wider team in her role as Deputy Manager.  Having been involved with patients in a hospital setting she has now translated her experience of working with the elderly into a care setting.  Juliana loves getting to know our residents and working with them and their families and with the teams in the home to provide them with the best possible experience.

When not at work Juliana loves nothing more than spending time with her family and fitting in her other passions which are travel and ballet which she has done for 10 years.

With 22 years of experience as an RN, five of which have been at Milford, Josipa is excited to be taking up the role of Clinical Lead. With a passion for elderly care, Josipa will be bringing all her skills to the role and will be supporting residents, their families, staff teams and visiting professionals in her role. 

She says there is nothing she wants more than to work to ensure that the residents we look after receive the best possible care and support and to bring a smile to their faces.

Josipa lives in Salisbury and when not at work is busy supporting her family and so says she really has two full-time jobs and loves them both!

Louise is a very long-standing member of our staff team and has already celebrated an amazing 25 years at Milford and counting! Louise is dedicated to ensuring that she and her team provide the best possible care for the residents that are in their care.

With 10 years of prior experience in an Administrator role we are delighted that Catriona has joined our office team.  Catriona loves working in the care environment and getting to know residents and their families and supporting them in whatever way she can. She can be found in our front office and is always available to answer any queries.

Following a career in retail, Milford is delighted to welcome Jan to the Activities team. Jan was born in Scotland but has lived in Salisbury since she was five, so she definitely counts as a local girl!  Jan loves chatting to people, entertaining and making people feel at home, as well as preparing endless cups of tea – a vital attribute for life at Milford House. Jan is enthusiastic about bringing a varied activities programme to those we support.

With 45 years of experience in the catering and hospitality industry Kevin heads up the chef and kitchen team at Milford House.  Kevin is passionate about delivering a delicious and nutritious range of menus for our residents both on a daily basis and for our special events where he looks forward to getting creative.  Leading our talented team Kevin will be ensuring that Milford's reputation as the home of delicious cakes is maintained!

Kelly has worked at Milford House since 2006 in a variety of roles and is now a full time member of the office team. She is a fountain of knowledge concerning all things Milford and if we don't know where to find something or what to do, she usually has the answers! When not at Milford, Kelly likes to take the odd quick trip to Spain to recharge her batteries, and her favourite Milford job is organising the Christmas party.

Ann is one of our Senior Sisters as well as one of our longest serving staff members having worked as part of the night team for 28 years. Ann has always worked nights and says that days have never tempted her as, in her role as Senior Night Sister, she gets to know all the residents in the home, can help wherever needed and is very hands on. Ann has a wealth of experience and is a hugely valued member of our Milford family and thankfully for us has no plans to retire any time soon!

Gale joined the Milford team in 2019, initially as a carer but has gradually transferred over to the Activities Team where she is now the full time Coordinator. Gale has a passion to create a comprehensive and inclusive programme of vibrant events for residents, family
members and friends to enjoy and, along with the rest of team, ensure that each resident is able to participate in meaningful activities tailored to their likes and dislikes.

residents to enjoy.
