Elm View Care Home

I have worked for Quantum Care for many years starting as a Carer in 2003 and working my way up to Home Manager position.  All I wanted from a young age was to look after people.  I have undertaken various training in Management and Leadership which has given me the knowledge and direction to be effective in my job role.  I believe that people should be cared for in a holistic way taking into account what makes them who they are.  I take pride in championing others to be the best they can be in their job role.  It is important to me that I develop meaningful relationships with residents, staff, relatives and other stakeholders to facilitate working in partnership to benefit everyone involved with the home, mainly the residents.  I see myself as an advocate for the residents making sure that they receive the best care possible, especially those who can no longer communicate their needs or those living with dementia.

My name is Hanna Mejia and I am delighted to have joined the team at Elm View Care Home as Head of Care. Having achieved a Bachelor of Science in Nursing I have worked for more than 20 years in the elderly care sector leading teams to deliver the highest possible standards of resident care. I am passionate about ensuring residents have the best quality of life they can and enjoy working alongside community teams to ensure this is possible. I look forward to welcoming new residents and their families to the Elm View community.

The Chef Manager organises every aspect of the catering operation and provides a safe, nutritious, quality service to our residents using freshly produced food. With a hands-on role, leading a team, they provide a quality catering service and help create a warm and friendly atmosphere for our residents. Working with our residents they help to create menus to meet their needs and suit their tastes.

The Customer Relations Manager role allows me to let the community know about the home, build community links and welcome new residents to Elm View. My career history is within Customer Service, Sales and Business Support Management. I enjoy exercise, especially running, and visiting sunny destinations. Elm View is a beautiful home and I am proud to be part of the Quantum Care team.

The Administrator will focus on the smooth running of the home; in whatever area they may be needed. From greeting visitors to recruiting, the Administrator is present in many aspects of life in the home, even if you don’t always see them! To be successful in the role, our Administrators have to be flexible and calm, able to multi-task and always keen to take on a new challenge. It’s often the Administrator that brings the IT skills to a home, helping them to keep everything organised. Above that though, Administrators are communicators, able to speak confidently and listen closely to everyone from Managers and Care Workers to visitors and residents.
