My name is Ana, I have worked as a nurse for the past 16 years.

I joined Baycroft as a nurse in 2019 and recently got promoted to the Clinical Deputy Manager role.

I am dedicated, patient and focused on trying to support the team in delivering great care.

I am proud to be part of Baycroft Kempston and look forward to many years supporting the team, the residents, and their family members with all clinical aspects.

“ I am Jordan Green, the Senior on the night shifts at Baycroft Kempston.

I moved from Essex to Bedford in 2020, working for Baycroft since November 2021 - when I walk through the doors on shift,

I still feel like it’s my home from home! I have two daughters, one aged three and one 6 months old - being their mum is my biggest achievement in life.

When I’m not at work, I really enjoy cooking, taking trips and exercising, especially running.

I’m signed up to run the london marathon next year for Bedford Hospital Charity.

I really do love the job that I do and I’m always trying to better myself in the role, so much so that I hope to go onto University next year to complete my nursing degree. “

''Hello, my name is Ben, I have recently taken on the role of Care Team Leader here at Baycroft - West Kempston.

I was born in Bedford and have worked in the health and social care sector within the local community for 8 years.

I worked previously as a senior care assistant at Baycroft, and have experience in Managerial Roles within the community [Domiciliary Care] and luxury retirement living developments; I am excited to continue my journey with Baycroft.

The whole team and the residents have been very supportive of my promotion, and I am looking forward to supporting them in their daily lives.

I feel all our residents should receive person-centred, dignified care and I am proud to lead the team to provide high standards of care for all our residents.''

''Hi! I'm Theo, one of the nurses here. I knew I wanted to be a nurse since I was 10.

I'm a very calm person that loves seeing happy residents around the home.

I'm easy to get along and glad to do all I can for your loved ones.

I'm working for Baycroft since it was opened and I truly believe is one of the best places to live when a helping hand starts being a requirement!''

''Hi my name is Michelle and I am the Housekeeper for Baycroft Kempston.

I have lived in Kempston all of my life and remember Baycroft being built.

I enjoy interacting with the residents and making sure they are happy.

I like making sure that their clothes are always looking like new as it makes them feel nice.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, day trips to the beach, playing my Xbox and doing diamond art.''

''Hello my name is Alison and I work at Baycroft Kempston. I really enjoy working here as a Care Assistant.

I’m very passionate about caring and giving 5 star care to all of the residents I look after.

I see all our residents as my family just like my nana or granddad.

When I am given a smile by one of the residents it makes me so happy and I know that I’m doing my job properly.

In my spare time I like listening to different genres of music from classical music to Adele!

I have a German shepherd and I like going on long walks with him and getting some fresh air and seeing the beautiful spring flowers along the walk.''

''Hiya my name is Georgia and I’ve been working at Baycroft Kempston since August last year.

I enjoy coming into work to interact with the residents and to make their home a forever happy place.

When I am not working I like to spend time with my niece, family and friends making forever memories.''

''I am a passionate and positive chef who beams pride and professionalism in all I do.

I have been a Head Chef for 25 years and am lucky enough to have worked in kitchens across the world including Sydney, Australia and Phuket, Thailand. I have cooked for several high-profile celebrities including Sir Elton John and Princess Diana.

My versatility has been an asset throughout my career and I have adapted to different environments having worked in hotels, gastropubs, high end restaurants and now Baycroft. I even spent 6 months cooking at Yarlswood Detention Centre!

I have mentored students from various local colleges and won a national purple umbrella award with my last apprentice. I also earned and retained a rosette for 3 years whilst working at a busy local hotel where I trained ‘Masterchef - The Professionals’ finalist, Louisa Ellis straight from catering college.

These rewards are nothing in comparison to the feeling I get from delivering high quality, delicious dishes to the residents of Baycroft Kempston and seeing their smiling faces when they have enjoyed my food!

Above all, I am fanatical about cooking and want everyone to enjoy whatever dishes my team and I create!''

''My name is Christy and I am a Lifestyle and Wellbeing Coordinator at Baycroft Kempston.

I have over 9 years' experience of working within the care sector organising and carrying out activities.

I am married with two children, and love spending time with my family in my spare time.

I also enjoy walking my dog, reading, and doing different crafts.

What I enjoy most about my job is spending time with each resident, building relationships, and finding meaningful activities that improve their wellbeing.''

''My name is Michelle and I have been a receptionist here at Baycroft Kempston since we opened in November 2019.

Before coming here, I used to volunteer at Bedford Central Club doing Bingo and organising weekly bands to come sing and I’m a people person so I love it when my Bistro area is full of residents enjoying themselves with the various activities we have going on whilst enjoying our delicious cakes.  I also enjoy puzzles and crosswords so you will often find me helping residents with their jigsaws.  

My hobbies include reading (thank you Kindle Unlimited), eating Yorkshire pudding, walking my husky and going away in my caravan and I’m lucky enough to have visited some amazing places which have been recommended by some of our residents who love telling me of their adventures.  I love star gazing with my Astrophotography mad son and I am often found at 3am outside in the garden with a blanket!

I absolutely love my job here at Baycroft and I am lucky enough to work with such amazing & caring people and consider myself very lucky to be working here.''
