Ruth Kigaa

Home Manager

I have been the registered Home Manager at Karuna Manor since February 2017. I am pleased to be leading an exceptional team who are dedicated to delivering excellent person-centred care and we are proud to be rated Good in all areas by CQC.

I have a vast experience in clinical care, with the last 25 years specialising in elderly care. I am passionate about supporting my team members and I am most fulfilled when I enjoy spending time with our residents who love to enjoy a chat and a chuckle.

Sermista Adhikari

Care Services Manager

I am proud to have joined the outstanding Team Karuna as a CSM. I am a Registered Nurse with over 8 years of experience working in the care sector. I have worked my way up from healthcare assistant to the management over the course of my career.

I believe in leading the team by example and being dedicated to providing outstanding person-centred care to each and every resident by developing and supporting our team members.

Nirali Patel

Hotel Services Manager

I have been at Karuna Manor since day one and have experienced the amazing journey that the team have been on as we strive to achieve outstanding.

I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. You meet various personalities, whether it be residents, relatives or team members and they all have their own story. They all teach us different things and have helped shape us into better people.

We have learnt to listen, to be kind and compassionate, to put ourselves in other people’s shoes and most of all to accept our weaknesses and find ways to make them into strengths.

Teamwork, Love and dedication is what makes Karuna Manor extra special and unique.

Dhvanisha Thacker

Community Development Manager

I have been visiting Karuna Manor since 2016 as a guest entertainer. I have now joined the team as the Community Development Manager working closely with residents and their families with new admissions and enquiries. It gives me great pleasure to be able to give the families and residents of Karuna Manor a unique experience.

Being able to converse fully in both Gujarati and Hindi, allows me to communicate with the residents as well as assist them with any requirements or needs they may have.
