Adriana Axente

HR/Finance Manager

I joined TLC in 2019 and enjoyed being in Care rather than hotels where I previously worked. Moving to care was the best decision of my life and I feel helped me discover myself.

I have been nominated 3 times for national care awards, Housekeeper of the year in 2019 and a finalist for British care awards, all whilst with TLC.  I wanted to challenge myself a little further and do something that would include my passion for numbers. After studying and gaining confidence, I was successful in applying for the role of admin assistant.

Now of course I am on an even bigger journey with Cuffley Manor as the HR/Finance Manager.

Mark Arrowsmith

Hotel Service Manager

I have worked within care of the elderly for nearly 10 years, starting as a carer and progressing to senior care. I then discovered a passion to create and facilitate meaningful and engaging activities for the Elderly and have since taken part in developing dementia strategies. Although I very much enjoyed the Head of Wellbeing role here at Cuffley Manor, my recent promotion to HSM, means I get the best of both worlds. I am still very much involved with the wellbeing team and the activities we offer.

As some may know, I also love to give a song or two and in my spare time have been an ‘extra’ on the TV.

Lyju Jose

Care Services Manager

Prior to moving to the UK, I was a Registered Nurse (RN) working as a staff nurse for three years in an Emergency Care Unit, in New Delhi, India.

I came to the UK in 2008, initially to study for an NVQ Level 4 in Health and Social Care, as part of understanding both the social and medical care provided in the UK.

I was fortunate to be able to work for  Care Homes, initially as a Senior Care Assistant. As I developed my skills, knowledge, and exposure to the care home environment, I was promoted to Team Leader, then an opportunity became available to become an Assistant Manager since 2016.

I joined the TLC group as a Care Service Manager at Cuffley Manor in May 2021 and I am loving the family atmosphere here. I am very passionate about care and people, and I strive to ensure that our residents are receiving outstanding person-centred care in a safe homely environment.

Kay Mitchell

Home Manager

I am the Home Manager at Cuffley Manor and have over 15 years’ experience within the Care home sector.

Although my background had always been in accountancy since leaving school, I felt there was something missing.  I was first introduced to care 15 years ago, and can honestly say, I have never looked back.  Since then I have progressed from Health Care Assistant to Senior Carer, Deputy Manager and for the past 8 years, have been in a General/Home Managers position.

I am very passionate about providing not only an excellent standard of care but also an environment in which residents and the team are able to enjoy living and working in a home with a warm, friendly and fun atmosphere.  I am extremely proud to be part of the TLC family.
