Ardtully Care Home in Ingatestone was filled with joy this morning as their Home Manager, Merjury Clavadetshcer, proudly returned with the Commended Award for “Outstanding Leadership” from the Essex Care Sector Awards.
Merjury has been with Premium Care Group since 2021, starting as a Senior Carer before quickly advancing to Head of Care, Deputy Manager, and now Home Manager. Originally a qualified nurse in Switzerland with over ten years of experience, Merjury brings a wealth of knowledge to her role in caring for elderly residents. Her commitment goes beyond her professional expertise—she treats the residents like family, ensuring they live their lives to the fullest. Each day, Merjury’s work is guided by her mission to make Ardtully feel like home for its residents.
Merjury leads by example, sharing her skills and knowledge with her team to maintain the highest standards of care. She serves as a mentor to the staff, who admire her hands-on approach and dedication to the home. By setting such high standards, she ensures that residents are treated with respect and dignity. Residents regularly go on day trips, looking their best and with pride, knowing they are well cared for.
Ardtully Care Home enjoys a strong reputation in the local community, with residents often seen visiting the church, library, shops, and cafés in the high street. This visibility has helped solidify the home’s positive standing in the area.
Merjury has also shown staff in the care sector that there is a clear path for progression. Many team members are now pursuing the next steps in their careers, inspired by her achievements and leadership.
Merjury’s example proves that by truly caring, having a passion for what you do, and striving for excellence every day, there are no limits to what can be achieved.
