Meet The Manager

Mihaela Vornicu is Home Manager at Moorlands Nursing Home.

I lead my professional Care Team in delivering the highest level of care and support for our residents. My commitment to professional development has equipped me well for my role here, where I work hard to ensure that those in my care lead happy and fulfilling lives, whilst maintaining choice over the care and support they receive.

I believe in maintaining strong relationships with residents and their relatives and understand the important contribution that these relationships make to the successful running of a care home.

I feel that the Aria Care philosophy matches up well with my own beliefs on care provision and I am committed to ensuring that all our residents continue to receive the high levels of care and protection they deserve.

At Moorlands Nursing Home in Lightwater, Surrey, we provide the highest standard of residential and nursing care for up to 40 elderly residents in a bright and homely environment. Our semi-rural location offers a tranquil setting within easy reach of the village’s many amenities.

Part of Aria Care, Moorlands Nursing Home offers a full range of residential and nursing care support, including trial stays, short stays, convalescent care, and long-term care. We always encourage our residents to bring their important possessions to help personalise their rooms and make the space their own.

Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.

What we're doing to keep residents & visitors safe

We are working within the government guidelines to help protect our staff and clients.

Infection Control Initiatives in place
safe-tick Independent Assessments We have been independently assessed in our approach to infection control.
safe-tick Infection Control Training Our staff are trained to use measures which prevent and control infections.
Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
