Meet The Manager
Bindhumol Varughese is Home Manager at Sharston House Nursing Home.
Bindhu brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to Sharston Home from her time as Deputy Manager
Sharston House combines the warm, friendly feel of a family home with the elegance of an impressive Victorian residence. The home is set in attractive grounds with lawned areas and many mature shrubs and trees; a pleasant patio and outdoor seating area are popular with residents in the summer.
We place great importance on the lives our residents have led before coming to us. We spend time with them and family members to find out about their tastes, history, hobbies and interests. We see family and friends as our partners in caring for the individual and we welcome feedback and suggestions at all times. The information shared helps us to create individual care plans that are crucial in providing the best care and help us get to know the individual. Residents are helped to achieve their aims by taking part in meetings, surveys and one-to-ones.
The home is continually committed to specialist training, which enables staff to help individuals express their needs and maintain a high level of independence, self-worth and well-being.
Each Kingsley care home is unique but all have a set of highly respected and award-winning features embedded within the culture. Our daily emphasis is on the care that our residents need, whether that is physical, emotional or spiritual.

The majority of rooms have ensuite facilities with many on the ground floor having patio door access to the garden. We welcome and encourage our residents to make their rooms as homely and personalised as possible. By furnishing the room with their own belongings they create a space in which they can feel safe and happy. Paintings, a favourite ornament and plenty of family photographs can all be of comfort and will help if a resident feels unsettled. |
