Litiana Kurisaqila is Home Manager at Headington Care Home.
Litiana has over 10 years of experience in the Health and Social Care sector and became Home Manager at The Headington Care Home in 2021. Driven by a passion for caring for others, she progressed from Care Assistant to her current role. Before moving to the UK, she worked on government projects aimed at alleviating poverty and supporting vulnerable populations. A social butterfly, she values connection with others.
What makes the resident experience at The Headington so special? We believe it’s our real sense of ‘family’ that has kindness, friendliness and respect right at its heart.
We provide a high standard of specialist nursing support for those living with dementia, along with short respite stays to give home carers a welcome break.
In every case we’re here to provide all the care each resident’s own family could wish for. The Headington is situated in Oxford close to Churchill Hospital and Oxford Brookes University with easy access to public transport and the M40.
All areas of our home are fresh and cheerful with a choice of lively or quiet communal spaces where residents can relax with each other or meet family and friends.

Activities Are So Important |
---|
Another way we can help our residents to feel at home is for them to do familiar things. So our dedicated Activities Leaders gently encourage residents to carry on doing things they enjoy. If someone had a hobby or pastime they did before they arrived, we’ll encourage them to continue it with us. Or perhaps they may like to learn something new. The important thing is that we treat every resident as an individual. If they enjoy sharing time with others, either in our home or on an organised trip out, they’re most welcome. Or, if they prefer quiet time alone, we’ll respect that too. We run a busy activities programme, including weekly church services, visits from entertainers, and regular coffee mornings. Our residents also love to safely explore and relax in our beautiful garden areas. |
