Q-Club

Welcome to The Mead Q Club. Open Monday to Friday from 10am to 3pm, our Borehamwood club offers day guests the opportunity to make new friends, whilst taking part in a range of activities.

The Q Club has a beautifully refurbished conservatory style Day Club with lovely views of the garden. The team aim to provide a calming yet stimulating and safe environment for those who need it. It is closed off to the rest of the Home so remains unaffected by the busy reception and goings on at The Mead. Within the club the team organise a range of activities with arts and crafts, cooking, gardening and board games all on offer, and we make a point of celebrating special occasions such as birthdays and nation-wide events.

Ivan Panev
Deputy Home Manager
I started my career in August 2017 as a Care Assistant and I progressed to Deputy Home Manager, passing through all positions until my current one.
I believe in people’s values and respect. I love working with people from different cultures. Open and honest communication is very important to me, and I found that Rhythm Of Life is a unique approach to providing person-centered care.

With a hands-on role, leading a team, they provide a quality catering service and help create a warm and friendly atmosphere for our residents. Working with our residents they help to create menus to meet their needs and suit their tastes. They also create and provide fine dining events, using Quantum Care’s award-winning Dining Club concept.

Susan Humphries
Administrator
The Administrator will focus on the smooth running of the home; in whatever area they may be needed. From greeting visitors to recruiting, the Administrator is present in many aspects of life in the home, even if you don’t always see them! To be successful in the role, our Administrators have to be flexible and calm, able to multi-task and always keen to take on a new challenge. It’s often the Administrator that brings the IT skills to a home, helping them to keep everything organised. Above that though, Administrators are communicators, able to speak confidently and listen closely to everyone from Managers and Care Workers to visitors and residents.
