My name is Tracy Barton and I am now the General Manager at Leycester House. I loved my time as Deputy, having fulfilled the role since 2018 and am now very much looking forward to my new role overseeing the running of Leycester House as General Manager. I have worked in care for over 2 decades and have had experience in elderly, nursing, mental health, dementia and young people in residential care. Before coming to Leycester House I was a coordinator for a large domiciliary company in Merseyside, a challenging, but rewarding job.

I feel privileged to be part of the Leycester House team, we are all so proud of the work we do and the quality of care that we give to our very deserving residents.

My name is Kathryn Evans. I have been the lead nurse at Leycester House since we opened in July 2016.I started my career in Nursing over 40 years ago, married before my final exams and went on to have 2 children soon afterwards. I now have 7 precious grandchildren. Working with the elderly has always been my passion, they have an abundance of history, love and trust to share with us. I really enjoy caring for the residents at Leycester House, ensuring that they receive the highest standards of care is incredibly rewarding.

I really enjoy working alongside the team at Leycester House and we take great pride and pleasure in presenting the residents with a wonderful, varied, nutritional choice of food. My team and I really enjoy celebrating birthdays and special occasions with our residents, but try to make every day a special one!

I have worked at Leycester House since 2018, I started here in the position of Dining Host before being promoted to Hospitality Manager and have since moved into the role of Events Manager.

I have a strong background in hospitality events and also ran my own florist business for 11 years. I love to incorporate my floristry experience in to the role; you might spot examples of the arrangements I help create with residents around the home.

I have a keen eye for detail and a great imagination which helps me create an exciting programme of activities and events to enhance the lives of our residents.

I am very passionate in all that I do and realise the importance of my role so strive to ensure our residents are happy, relaxed and smiling in their home each and every day through the programme I create.

My name is Carole Satchwell, I am the Housekeeper at Leycester House. I started working at the home when it opened in July 2016. I thoroughly enjoy being part of the friendly, hardworking team. My background is many years of housekeeping and laundry service in care homes. I enjoy caring for the residents and am passionate about maintaining an ultra-clean, tidy, and well maintained environment. This is the residents home, and I am privileged to be able to ensure the highest standards are maintained.

I have worked in Hospitality for many years, mainly across hotel groups before joining Leycester House in September 2021. I started out as a Hostess but when an opportunity arose to take on the role of Hospitality Manager I jumped at the chance. I want all of our residents to have an excellent, high quality, dining experience and I work very closely with my team to ensure this happens on a daily basis.

There is a lovely family atmosphere at Leycester House and I thoroughly enjoy working with and supporting our many different departments. Helping relatives and being part of a team that is continually striving to provide the best possible care and experience for our residents is extremely rewarding.

After many years working within the financial sector, I took a leap of faith into Healthcare back in 2015. I’ve been on the most amazing journey, supporting hundreds of families find the right care home for their loved ones. Finding a care home is often at a very challenging and emotional time so providing my knowledge and support to you and your family is a responsibility I feel hugely passionate about.

I joined the Leycester House team back in January 2021 and despite the 9 months prior to this being some of the most challenging of their lives, I could sense there was a great team and family spirit within this home. We have some of the most dedicated and caring staff in the region and the reputation this home has built in Warwickshire testifies to that. I am very proud to promote Leycester House as part of my role and feel confident that when supporting you to make a decision, it will be the right one for you and your family.

Outside of work I am a very spontaneous person who also likes to have plenty planned in advance so my husband and teenage son find it very tricky to keep up with what’s coming next!? As a family we love our holidays, playing golf and spending time with our friends and relatives.
