🌿 Meet the Team Monday! 🌿

Say hello to Nigel, our wonderful new gardener! 👋

Nigel brings a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for making people happy through gardening. Before joining us, he ran his own gardening business and has also cared for the beautiful grounds at local golf clubs and Ipswich School. 🌼🌳

He finds gardening incredibly rewarding — especially when residents and their families share kind words about how lovely the gardens look. 🌸 Nigel says one of the best parts about working here is how friendly and welcoming the whole team has been!

When he’s not tending to the gardens, you’ll likely find him fishing or enjoying the peace and beauty of nature. 🎣🌿

💜 Dementia UK Fundraiser in Memory of Maureen 💜

We’d like to give a huge shoutout to Nic, who recently took on an incredible challenge in support of Dementia UK — she shaved her head in memory of her lovely mum Maureen, who used to live here with us.

It was a truly special day, made even more meaningful as it would have been Maureen’s birthday.

Nic has always been a wonderful part of our community and has formed such lovely relationships with residents and staff alike. We’re so proud of her amazing fundraising efforts and the love and courage she’s shown throughout. 💖

Thank you, Nic, for all that you’ve done

🌟 Meet the Team Monday: Sandra 🌟

“I have worked at Bucklesham Grange on the reception desk for 9 years and really love my job as I get to meet so many people.

Every day can be so different and although it can get busy at times, I always make time for our residents, families and visitors coming to the home.

It makes my day chatting to everyone and helping them out when I can, even if it’s just a smile, ‘how are you doing today,’ making them a cup of tea or coffee, or spending a little time with them sharing some special memories.

Outside of work I keep busy with family time and have 4 young grandsons who I adore. They all love playing outdoors, so we spend a lot of time out on the parks in and around Ipswich or playing in our garden, which my husband and I love to keep looking nice.” 🌷

⭐Meet the Team Monday⭐

We’re thrilled to announce that Kirsty, a familiar and much-loved member of our team, is now Deputy Manager here at Bucklesham Grange!

What does the role of Deputy Manager entail?
The role of deputy manager is vast and ranges from supporting and leading the care team to deliver outstanding care, reviewing documentation, liaising with external healthcare professionals and support the whole home in the absence of the General Manager.

What does a usual day look like for you?
Every day is different, it could be managing the rota, spending time with the team, residents and relatives, quality checking documentation.

How and why did you start working in the care industry?
It started working in the care industry after studying Psychology and university. I got a part time job in a care home, loved it and never looked back.

How do you work with the General Manager and why is this relationship so important?
Ruben and I have a 29 years’ experience with Hallmark between us, we love the company and its vision, however we are also quite different and that’s going to be our strength going forward. Ruben has a huge amount of experience including as Deputy Manager so I am learning a lot from him.

What is the best thing about being the Deputy Manager?
The best thing about being Deputy Manager is being able to spend time with all residents and support across all department as well as the clinical care.

Can you think of a personal highlight in your role?
I personal highlight will of course be out recent internal compliance audit score- we achieved outstanding and that is a tribute to the hard work across all teams. I am also grateful for the support I have received from relatives, team and residents since becoming the Deputy Manager, it means a lot.

How do you spend your free time?
Spare time? I don’t really have any! I have two boys, one 7 year old and one 4-year-old who have the most amazing personalities, and I love spending time with them. I am also studying for a post graduate degree, so I like to read journals and research, I suppose when I do have a moment, I like a game of scrabble!
