Meet The Manager
Maraya Rabuka is The Home Manager at Framland.
Maraya left Fiji in 2000 to join the British Army as a chef at 19 straight after completing sixth form. She served for five years with the Royal Army Dental Corps as a dental nurse and then supported her family during her husband's postings to Germany and Canada.
Maraya started her journey in the health & social care sector as a night carer in 2015, working her way up to the role of senior carer and then team leader. She then became a deputy and finally a registered home manager, working first in a new-build residential and dementia care setting and then in a nursing home.
A member of her local church, Maraya enjoys attending Bible studies and services and is always happy to help out with events. Outside of work, she also enjoys supporting her boys with their rugby, playing netball, gardening, reading, and meeting new friends.
Framland is a 21-bed residential care home in Wantage. We offer residential care for older people, including for those who are living with dementia and those with learning disabilities. We can provide respite care to those who need it and we are able to offer care at the end of life.

At the heart of The Way We Care is our commitment to making sure we know each person really well so we can care for them in the way that’s best for them. When someone comes to live at Framland, a senior member of the care team will discuss their needs with them and create an individual Care Plan which covers everything from their history to their social interests, personal relationships, hobbies, and emotional, spiritual and cultural needs. We call those who live with us ‘family members’ reflecting our commitment to creating places where those who choose to live with us feel truly at home. We support those who live with us to remain as independent as possible but our care team provide support with activities such as bathing, dressing and mealtimes for those who need it. We focus on seeing the individual person first before seeing any form of illness or disability. This is especially relevant when caring for those living with a form of dementia. |
