The Directors
​
​
Alongside management, the staff team includes senior carers, carers, domestics, cooks and wellbeing support staff. All staff complete annual mandatory training to a high standard, and our carers start our skill development programme to train to at least a Level 2 NVQ in Health and Social Care after their first year of employment.
Five Gables Care Home also have a visiting hairdresser, chiropodist and opticians.
Our Team
The care home is run by Victoria Ricketts and Samuel Travers, as directors of the registered service provider, Paddington Care Ltd. Vikki and Sam took over Five Gables Care Home in March 2024.
​
Vikki has been working at Five Gables for 8 years now, and has been Registered Manager, with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), for 6 years. Outside of her professional involvement, now having this opportunity of running the care home under their own company, has fulfilled her ambitions that she has been working towards, ever since starting her career in social care 12 years ago. Her partner, Samuel, worked at his mother’s care home, and was actively involved in the day-to-day running's of the home – this has given them an excellent insight into the nature of this business and are eager to immerse themselves in this new venture.​​
