Welcome to Fordingbridge Care Home

Juby is a dedicated registered nurse with a diverse career journey that reflects the varied experiences of the residents she has had the privilege to care for. Her professional path has included roles in Dementia nursing homes, EMI Homes, dialysis centers, and the fast-paced environment of NHS wards, specializing in cardiology, oncology, and mental health. Juby has excelled as a Clinical Lead in acute nursing and rehabilitation, as well as a Clinical Manager in specialist care settings. She has also served as a Registered Manager for both nursing and residential homes.

Juby is excited to bring her passion and extensive experience to Fordingbridge Care Home with Allegra Care. She believes that every challenge presents an opportunity to enhance the quality of care, a principle that drives her every day.

Outside of her professional commitments, Juby is an avid bookworm, a unique dancer, and a keen observer of people, often with a cup of tea in hand. She enjoys exploring new places and taking scenic drives, infusing a sense of adventure into her daily life. She looks forward to infusing the Fordingbridge community with a bit of humour, a lot of heart, and an unwavering commitment to quality care.

Katrina qualified as registered mental health nurse in 2000 after completing her three years training in Cornwall. She started her post qualification career at The Priory Hospital Marchwood, then working in the NHS from 2002 to 2015 when she joined Fordingbridge as Deputy Matron. She loves her current job within Fordingbridge and likes to make it a happy and fun place for all the residents who reside there. Joining her at work is her Cavapoo puppy Archie who comes everywhere with her and likes to visit the residents where he will also hoover up crumbs from the floor!

In her time off Katrina enjoys walking with Archie in the New Forest or the beach, or spending time with her husband and two children exploring the area. Katrina as Clinical Manager ensures the highest standards of care and support are provided to our residents at Fordingbridge.

Following a career working as an administrator for a children’s centre, Carole Ann took on a similar role at Fordingbridge Care Home in 2013. Her position enables her to use her organisational and people skills to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the home and perform the many administrative functions that this entails. With two adult daughters and three teenage grand-daughters, outside work she enjoys spending time in the garden with her husband, reading, crown green bowling.

Working for 11 years as a Social Worker and Team Manager in Adult Services, Jacqueline relished supporting care providers with their safeguarding, quality and compliance requirements. Based on this experience, she then sought a move into working with a residential care provider. Jacqueline approached Allegra Care first, as she felt that the company’s values, care principles and household model aligned very closely with her own vision of what good care should look like. As Regional Manager, her passion for outstanding care is self-evident as she supports homes and colleagues across Hampshire. She also thinks laughter is a great tonic – and her cheeky sense of humour is infectious.

Away from work, Jacqueline enjoys eating out, cinema and horse racing. As a mother of two grown up children, she enjoys spending time with her friends, her family and her two grandchildren.

After working for 14 years as a renal nurse specialist, Jacqui changed her career to be around more for her young children. Her wide-ranging experience since then encompasses a number of rewarding positions across a variety of sectors, including team leader for Jobsite; Southern Team manager for Westfield Health; management for a specialist lender helping people rebuild their credit profile and, most recently, moving into the elderly care sector with Barchester, for whom she worked in community awareness and fundraising.

Now, as Regional Relationship Liaison Manager for Allegra Care, she brings her diverse portfolio of skills to the task of supporting the homes and helping the company develop its profile in the elderly care sector.
