Meet The Manager
Shiva Sheikholeslami is Registered Home Manager at Clarendon House Care Home.
As the Registered Home Manager at Clarendon House Care Home, I lead the overall management and day-to-day operations of the home, ensuring our residents receive the highest standards of care, safety, dignity and wellbeing.
I lead, support and develop our dedicated team, creating a positive environment where colleagues feel valued, motivated and empowered to deliver exceptional, person-centred care. Residents are at the heart of everything we do, and I work closely with families, colleagues and healthcare professionals to ensure individual needs, choices and preferences are respected.
I ensure the home meets CQC standards, health and safety requirements and statutory regulations, while overseeing staffing, budgets, resources and services. I also build strong relationships with healthcare professionals, volunteers and local community groups, creating meaningful opportunities that promote residents’ wellbeing, independence, connection and sense of belonging.
Clarendon House is located in the heart of Buckingham town centre, close to amenities and at the centre of the community. With care and support facilities being taken to a new level, it is a real ‘Home from Home’.
Beautifully appointed ensuite bedrooms, landscaped gardens and thoughtfully designed communal spaces create an environment that feels both elegant and homely. Residents benefit from 24-hour care delivered by experienced professionals, with support plans tailored to changing needs and preferences.
Supportive dementia care is provided in a safe and supportive setting that promotes dignity, engagement and quality of life. Clarendon House also offers nursing care, residential care and short-term respite stays, providing reassurance and flexibility for residents and their families.
Outstanding facilities include a private cinema, hair and beauty salon, therapy room, restaurant-style dining, quiet lounges and a varied programme of activities designed to support physical, emotional and social wellbeing.
