TEN YEARS AT ‘LOVELY’ HOME FOR DARLINGTON CARE HOME ADMINISTRATOR

09/02/2022

Wilton House Care Home in Darlington has celebrated the ten-year anniversary of its administrator – Karen Everson.

Karen, 60, began working at Wilton House when she and her former soldier husband Major Keith Everson settled in Darlington after years of living in Cyprus and Germany.

A trained nurse and aerobics instructor Karen has held a number of office and accounts management roles in her varied career but was instantly drawn to Wilton House on her first visit.

Karen said: “I wasn’t really looking for an administration role and initially joined for six months, but ten years later I am still here! I love the job, the home, my colleagues, and the residents and that is the most important thing for me.

“Wilton House is lovely, it’s a real home from home and a great environment to work in. I’m sure I will be working here until I retire.”

Karen’s two daughters have carried on the family services tradition, one is in the Army and the other married is to a soldier.

In 2021 Karen reached the area finals of the National Care Awards, nominated for her hard work and dedication to providing the best possible support to the home.

Steve Massey, operations manager at Popular Care, said: “Karen is a great home administrator, she’s also a great person to have around.

“She deserved her award recognition last year and we’re all delighted to celebrate her ten years working at Wilton House.”
