Meet The Manager
Beverly is Deputy Manager at Viera Gray House.
I have worked at Viera Gray House for well over 15 years and have worked my way up from a Senior Carer to Deputy Manager. I aspire to develop the home and create a place where the residents feel safe and settled. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my children and meeting my friends.
Viera Gray House Care Home in Barnes, Richmond, is one of the most homely, friendliest and welcoming care homes in the borough. Our ethos of care and inclusion of our residents is one of the things that really sets us apart and one of the features of the home our residents and their families love the most.
As soon as you walk into Viera Gray you realise that it is a little bit different to the other care homes you have seen. The residents are a bit happier and the families just a bit more relaxed about how their loved ones are cared for. The staff just get it! They instinctively understand how difficult it is for anybody that has to choose a care home for their loved ones and we try to make the process as easy as possible. We believe that the minimum starting point for our residents is that they remain happy and enjoy this chapter of their lives.
The home is managed by Greensleeves Care a not-for-profit organisation and one of the best and most respected care charities in the country.
