The theory acquired whilst working in psychiatric nursing in my formative years was put into practice by embarking into the Care Home Sector in 1984, where job satisfaction on both mine and my Staff’s behalf has been enormous.

I have always endeavoured to develop and structure Thornton Lodge within a concept of care, embracing authentic policies and procedures to keep a high standard of care, which we remain so proud to offer to the community to this very day.

Arun graduated with a BA honours from Kent in 2020 and swiftly made an entry into the family business.

Arun takes great pride in the overall operational management of the financial operations in the Home- including staff pension and development management and devising an innovative and diverse recreational programme to enhance the quality of life for service users.

Arun works with the residents and catering team to ensure food requests and dietary needs are met. The menu choice is varied and created using delicious fresh and nutritious ingredients that’s are balanced and promote well- being.

After acquiring my degree from UAL in 2017, I joined the family business in the Care Home Sector. I have worked diligently under the guidance of Mr Juwaheer, having enjoyed acquiring both a wealth and breadth of knowledge in the management of care to our Service Users and Staff development.

I have been actively involved in the running of Thornton Lodge from 2017, hosting myself with 6 years of experience within both the business and clinical aspects of the Home. I am planning to follow through was an Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Health & Social Care in 2023.

I started employment at Thornton Lodge in 1992. After completing my Diploma in Management, I was offered the job of Registered Manager at Thornton Lodge. My main responsibility is to ensure that activities in the Home are running smoothly. To achieve my goal, I have built a very good relationship with my Staff, Service Users, other Stakeholders and key organisations such as the local aurhtoities, which is based on trust and respect. From the time I began working at Thornton Lodge, I have created a system where there is transparency and honesty at all levels. I always believe in innovation and the training of my staff where there is a clear vision of values in which staff understand compassion, dignity, promotion of independence, respect, equality, quality of care and safety. I always strive to work harmoniously within the Management Team and with all my staff in order to deliver the best standards of care to our Service Users.
