Meet The Manager
Gayane Selimyan is Manager at Chestnut Gardens Care Home.
"I relocated to the UK and joined the care sector in 2006, previously working as a dentist. Since then, I have specialised in executive and operations management. To date, I have been responsible for managing 14 residential and nursing care homes that provided care to almost 950 residents.
I won the Care Home Frontline Leaders Award at the Great British Care Awards in 2012 and, in a previous role, I achieved an 'Outstanding' CQC rating. I look forward to bringing my skills and experience to Chestnut Gardens.
Chestnut Gardens is an amazing home with a great atmosphere and I am looking forward to delivering the best care with my team to those we support in a friendly, warm and happy environment."
Chestnut Gardens is a brand new purpose-built care home in Purley that provides excellent 24-hour residential care in a warm and friendly environment, as well as caring for those living with dementia. Alongside long-term care, we also offer short-term breaks for respite and intermediate care. Our experienced and dedicated team are ready to deliver exceptional standards of compassionate care, which focuses on the individual needs of each resident.
