Meet The Manager
Maria Wegner is Home Manager at Brendoncare Froxfield.
Maria is a registered nurse who trained at the medical academy in Bydgoszcz in Poland. On completion of her training, she worked on a hospital ward and then in a doctor’s surgery, before returning to the hospital to work on the neurological ward.
Maria moved to the UK in 2007 and joined the care team at a nursing home, then as a support worker for people with learning disabilities. She started working as a nurse in a nursing home in 2010. In 2012, she joined Brendoncare Froxfield as a registered nurse, later becoming its Deputy Manager then its Registered Manager in 2019.
Located in a village between Marlborough and Hungerford, Brendoncare Froxfield provides nursing care for 44 residents including a safe environment for 16 people living with dementia.
Brendoncare Froxfield is arranged into three households to give the feeling of living in a small family group, but with access to all the care home's facilities.
The care home is surrounded by rolling Wiltshire countryside, offering a peaceful and tranquil environment both inside and out. A pergola is the central feature in its attractive landscaped garden.
Mealtimes are an important part of the day, so the catering team discusses the menus to ensure all residents’ tastes are met.
Wellbeing coordinators organise a range of activities, including visits from entertainers and mini-bus outings.
It is run by Brendoncare, a registered charity, which is dedicated to improving the quality of life for older people through its seven care homes and community support services.

Froxfield has been designed to provide a home-like atmosphere where individual needs can be met.
