Meet The Manager
Magda Anca is Home Manager at Alston House Care Home.
I always had a passion for learning new things and found myself attracted to the selfless idea of helping and working for and with people. I enjoyed my school years and opted to qualify as a nurse with the strong intention to make a difference in the life of people in need. I am an enthusiastic person, optimistic with empathy and a calm character keen to develop my skills in the management nursing area. In 18 years of nursing, I have gained experience in good practice and how to manage other members of staff and how to support residents who may or may not have the mental capacity to look after themselves. I have learned how to gain respect from my other colleagues (doctors, managers, nurses, pharmacy team, health carers, and social workers).
Our stunning care home in Alston features bright and spacious en-suite bedrooms, all of which have been beautifully appointed in a range of colours and themes for comfortable and stylish living, and a limited number of spacious suites.
Each suite benefits from a high spec kitchenette, contemporary lounge diner and a private patio overlooking the landscaped grounds.
As you step inside our care home you'll find our wellbeing and beauty salon. Residents need not go outside the haircuts and styling. You'll also find our nail bar there, where manicures and pedicures are available whenever you want them, and of course, the signature Hamberley hand massage. Next to the wellbeing and beauty salon you'll find our café where residents can spend time together with a coffee and a delicious slice of homemade cake.
