Among the staff at the care home is Oliver Waddington, wellbeing and lifestyle coach, who decided on a change of career during the pandemic.
The former professional sports coach said: "During lockdown I reflected on my career and wanted a role to help support members of the local community and aid them to have fulfilled lifestyle and wellbeing.
“I am new to the care industry and the training and resources at Hamberley has given me confidence to provide a high level of support and care.”
