Meet The Manager
Jana Vaskova is Home Manager at Juniper House Residential Care Home.
I have been working in health and social care since 2005. During this time, I have been taking various courses and studies and enjoyed supporting all residents, customers, and colleagues in various roles such as Registered Manager, Peripatetic Manager, Area Manager, and Quality Assurance Manager.
My passion has always been to provide the best possible care and service for my residents/customers with focus on person-centred approaches as well as effective communication with my teams and encouragement in my teams/ colleagues ‘continuous personal development which boosts their confidence, competence and enables enriching lives and quality of care and service.
Another goal is for everyone to be happy living or working in a nice, friendly, welcoming environment and proudly call it Home where all visitors and local community are part of the residents/customers daily lives too.
Opened in 2015, Worcester’s Juniper House is an impressive care home with splendid facilities and a fantastic team, led by experienced manager Cindy Hawkins.
Located on the Sanctuary Grove site, there is a central hub adjoining the home, which has a bistro-style restaurant. Residents can dine here if they prefer a change of scenery or take loved ones when they visit. There is also a hairdressing salon where they can enjoy appointments with a mobile hairdresser.
The care home is very attractive and is beautifully decorated and furnished. The bedrooms are all spacious with en-suite wet rooms, enhancing the independence of residents even further. The Willow and Maple suites are for the home’s residents who receive residential care, while residents living with dementia are in the Beech and Chestnut suites.

Outside the refurbished garden area looks splendid and is home to Juniper’s four chickens. They have been lovingly hand-reared by the residents, who watched them hatch right here in the home. The team also provides pre-bookable respite care breaks. If you are caring for a loved one at home, this can give you the opportunity to recharge your batteries or take a break of your own, knowing we are taking good care of your loved one. |

| Activities Are So Important |

The garden room is a light and airy space overlooking the grounds, where residents love to take part in all sorts of activities, from tai chi sessions to musical performances from the Worcestershire Association of Carers choir. Other visitors who always light up the room are toddlers from the local nursery. They visit regularly to treat residents to sneak previews of plays and musical performances and to play games. The garden room also boasts a vintage sweet cart, which is an added bonus for the children when they visit! Juniper House also has a minibus so residents can enjoy trips to places across Worcestershire and beyond, including Webb’s garden centre in Wychbold and Malvern Theatre. They also enjoy spending time with residents at Sanctuary Care’s Heathlands Residential Care Home in Pershore. Some fantastic celebrations and community events also take place within the care home. These have included a 101 Dalmatians themed party for the home’s most mature resident Nora Harris, who is 104. For her 100th birthday the team organised a VIP trip to the local safari park, where she was a zoo keeper for the day. Nora loved feeding meat on a stick to tigers through a fence and even had a snake wrapped around her neck! The residents enjoy being part of the care home’s gardening club and have loved growing their own sunflowers from seed this summer and are very excited about Juniper’s latest addition – our very own potting shed. |
