Meet The Manager
Esther Oluwatosin Adams is Home Manager at Buchanan Court.
I have over a decade worth of experience in the health sector both in the NHS as a Registered Nurse, working as a Cinical Lead and Operational Manager for a private health company.
The services provided by Care UK reflects the same quality and this is some of the reason why I chose to join the company in 2022.
My favourite part of each day is working alongside my team, meeting with relatives and listening to their childhood or memorable moments with their loved one, having conversations or playing card games with the lovely residents.
Buchanan Court is not just a residential home, it is a home filled with fun, joy, laughter and good care and we look forward to welcoming you home.
Buchanan Court in Harrow is a purpose-built care home for older people that offers superb, person-centred care. The dedicated team provides a full range of high-quality care, including nursing, residential and specialist dementia care, as well as short-term respite care.
Every aspect of life at Buchanan Court is tailored to residents’ individual needs and preferences, from the care the team provides, to the activities and outings residents enjoy and the delicious, fresh food served up by the chef-led team.
Residents can choose which bedroom they would like, and they can personalise it however they wish. With a cinema, café, hair salon and a range of activities and outings to choose from, each day can be whatever residents want it to be.

Inside our 80-bedroom care home there’s lots going on. There are residents being pampered in the hair and beauty salon, or enjoying a classic film in the cinema. Buchanan Court has its own café too, with fresh tea and coffee and homemade cakes. There’s socially distanced activities such as exercise classes and games, and of course we all love relaxing in the beautiful garden when the weather’s nice too. |
