Meet The Manager
Sara Barbosa is Home Manager at Invicta Court.
I was keen to join Care UK because it is a well-respected organisation with impressive values and a strong portfolio of homes around the country. I joined Invicta Court at the beginning of its journey as I was keen to be involved in commissioning a new home and shaping the standards of care, right from the start.
My favourite part of the day at our Maidstone care home is when I get the chance to talk to the residents. Listening to their life experiences is fascinating, and by getting to know the people we care for, we’re better able to provide person-centred, high quality care.
I’m enjoying working with the team to build Invicta Court’s reputation for great care, to enable residents to live their lives to the full, and to make residents’ wishes a reality.
Invicta Court care home in Maidstone offers an impressive range of quality care services for older people that are tailored to their needs, preferences and interests, enabling them to live fulfilling lives.
As well as providing permanent and short-term nursing, residential and dementia care, the highly trained team offers step-down care to enable older people to regain their strength and mobility after a hospital stay.
Set in luxurious surroundings that are designed to the latest dementia-friendly standards, the dedicated team supports residents to enjoy the home's fantastic facilities, including a café, hair and beauty salon, bar and cinema. The team also organise a weekly programme of activities, outings and live entertainment.
