Maureen Barrett is Home Manager at Tor-Na-Dee Care Home.
I became a care home manager in 2000 and worked at several homes in the Aberdeen area, before arriving at Tor-Na-Dee as a brand new home in 2008.
I'm a very positive, driven person and always aim to do the best I can for residents and the home. I love to see that residents are well looked after and that they feel happy and contented. And it's reassuring to know that residents' families are really pleased with the care that we provide.
It's also rewarding to watch team members develop and blossom. I'm proud of how Tor-Na-Dee has progressed since it opened and the high standard of care that our knowledgeable team provides every single day. We do lots of surveys among residents, families and the people that work here, to gather feedback and suggestions, and we have monthly meetings with residents and relatives. I also hold a monthly manager's surgery but my door is always open to anyone who'd like to talk.
Tor-Na-Dee is a beautiful care home in Milltimber, on the outskirts of Aberdeen. The home provides a wide variety of services, including residential, nursing and specialist dementia care on a short-term or permanent basis.
The home has spacious, beautifully furnished dining rooms and lounges, plus a bar area, a comfortable cinema room and a luxurious hair and beauty salon.
Residents have the freedom to enjoy shared living spaces, where they are welcome to read, relax or take part in group or one-to-one activities. The wonderful gardens are a focal point of the home, with a courtyard, patio, summer house, attractive lawns and a wildlife area. At residents’ requests, the team even adopted some chickens, which residents help to care for.
