Shelly Prakash

Home Manager

Having completed a diploma in General Nursing from Bangalore, India in 2007 and a Bsc (Hons) in Nursing from the University of West London in 2011. I started my career in the UK as a Health Care Assistant while waiting for my nursing registration.

I then went on to work as a Registered Nurse in 2013 at St.George’s Nursing Home in Cambridge, I was then promoted to Care Manager within the same Company after 2 years. I joined TLC Care as a Care Services Manager for Cherry Hinton Care Home in November 2019 and was then promoted to the Home Manager position. I then moved across to become Home Manager of Cambridge Manor.

I am extremely passionate about looking after our elderly residents.

Silviu Popescu

Business Development Manager

My name is Silviu, and I have worked in the care industry for over 11 years, undertaking a variety of roles that have fuelled and deepened my passion for supporting others. Before this, I built a successful career in sales, where I developed strong skills in communication, relationship-building, and strategic thinking.

I was drawn to TLC by its exciting prospects, the challenges and opportunities presented by the role, and the company’s clear commitment to investing in its people. I thrive in environments that encourage professional growth, foster collaboration and value meaningful contributions. I look forward to continuing my journey with TLC, helping to drive its success and making a positive difference every day.

Maria Bonifacio

Clinical Lead

After graduating with a BSc in Nursing at the Philippine Women’s University, I passed the National Licensing exam in 1995 and later registered under the NMC in 2001.

I have been practicing since 1995 in both hospital and care home settings. A career in healthcare has allowed me to maintain high standards of practice through audits and appraisals, ensuring carers and nurses work professionally and cater to the preferences of residents. Additionally, I’ve mentored nurses in the UK and overseas but what I have enjoyed most of all, is spending time with residents and their loved ones. I’ve faced the difficulties of the job and what makes it worthwhile, is hearing positive feedback from residents themselves and their families. Hearing the team at TLC has made an impact on someone’s wellbeing is rewarding.

My longest positions remain as a clinical lead in Adult Nursing and as a unit manager, further specialising in Palliative care.  All of which has prepared me for the role as your Care Services Manager where I’ll continue my duties in collaboration with the incredible clinical team and all members of the TLC family.

As a Hotel Services Manager, I am responsible for managing and delivering outstanding hotel services provided to our residents, based on their interests and needs.

When I am not with residents, I am passionate about learning and development and always enjoy supporting our team members with their training needs.
