Jacky Barnett began working for Cavendish as a Care assistant in 2000, progressing to Senior carer until 2005 when she left the home to live abroad.
Upon returning to the UK in 2010, within two days of arrival, Jacky returned to Cavendish as a Senior carer. In 2014 she became the activities manager and in 2016 was runner up for the Gloucestershire Care Providers Association award for activities and in 2017 won the award.
Jacky puts her formal training into practice by engaging with the residents one to one as well as small groups and providing activities, sights and sounds that stimulate their senses consciously and subconsciously.
Lorraine Hopkins started working at Cavendish in 1994, when it was a 13 bedroom home and has grown with the home.
Lorraine manages housekeeping yet makes time to be involved in providing care and assisting the activities manager. With almost twenty five years service to Cavendish, Lorraine has a very good and close relationship with many of the residents and it is not unusual to see Lorraine visiting residents or assisting with outings on her days off.
Since leaving school to begin a career in care, Sarah steadily progressed from a Care Assistant to Deputy Manager to accomplished Care Home Manager and has been successfully managing care homes for the last twelve years. Sarah joined Cavendish at the beginning of 2020.
