Rohan Mathew is Home Manager at Buchanan Court.
Before joining Care UK in 2018 I spent ten years working in the UK and overseas in different nursing roles, including in cardiac and orthopaedic settings. A friend of mine who worked for Care UK recommended the organisation for its commitment to quality care, and for how it supports colleagues to develop and progress.
What’s special about working in a care home as opposed to a hospital setting is the opportunity to truly get to know the people you’re caring for. I’m also passionate about supporting the team, and growing their confidence so they provide the best service.
Buchanan Court is full of energy and the teamwork here is outstanding. I’m so proud of how colleagues treat residents with the utmost respect and dignity, and involve them in outings, activities and special celebrations. I’m proud to be part of the Buchanan Court family.
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.
When your loved one first joins us, we’ll work with them, and you, to learn everything we can about them. We’ll then create care and activity plans, as well as menus, that are tailored to their unique needs and personality.

![]() Rohan MathewHome ManagerBefore joining Care UK in 2018 I spent ten years working in the UK and overseas in different nursing roles, including in cardiac and orthopaedic settings. A friend of mine who worked for Care UK recommended the organisation for its commitment to quality care, and for how it supports colleagues to develop and progress. ![]() Lorelei ShepherdCustomer Relations ManagerMy time with Care UK goes back to 2000! I began as a care assistant but I worked my way up. I’ve actually worked in health or social care all my career – in fact, all my family work in related fields. At Care UK I’ve helped to refurbish a care home, I’ve held a Dining for Dementia auction for charity – there are always opportunities to get involved that you could never predict. I work with a great team here at Buchanan Court and I’m really enjoying supporting them, as well as the families who come to us looking for great care. ![]() Udeni DissanayakeHead ChefI’m passionate about cooking delicious food that will put a smile on residents’ faces, and that’s why I joined Care UK. It’s a leading care company in the UK and passionate about supporting older people. I’m an experienced care sector catering manager and have achieved an outstanding five star rating from the CQC for all of the organisations that I’ve worked in. I’m committed to delivering excellent service and love getting feedback from residents. If they have enjoyed what we’ve created, I’m happy. ![]() Konzo NgomaBusiness AdministratorI was working in accounting before I moved to Buchanan Court in 2017. I really wanted to work with older people, supporting them and their families, and to develop my skills in a large organisation. Care UK is a very good company to work for, and rewards dedication and talent. There’s always something happening at Buchanan Court: no two days are the same. I joined the home and the team when it was brand new, which was exciting and challenging in equal measure! It’s interesting and rewarding to see the home develop and to see residents truly settling in and making the home their own. It’s lovely to see. Buchanan Court is a happy home, and I’m very proud to work here, using my skills to support families and older people. ![]() Petronela SpiridonHead HousekeeperI joined the Buchanan Court team in March 2019 because Care UK is known for the great care it offers and how it supports its colleagues to progress professionally. I was actually working as a Casino Manager before I worked here, but I have also worked in housekeeping in roles prior to that. It’s been a huge boost for me to reach management level and to be overseeing a team, and I love the time I get to spend interacting with residents. Doing whatever I can to help them gives me huge pleasure. It’s wonderful to see them happy and I’m looking forward to seeing them blossom further, and developing great relationships with them. |
