Wellbeing Care’s Meadow View care home in Irchester, Northamptonshire has appointed Dr Rahees Abdulla Chettintavida as care home manager.

Meadow View provides nursing, residential and respite care or up to 53 people.

Rahees previously spent 12 years as a GP, practising medicine in India and the UAE. He then transitioned into hospital administration, gaining three years of experience in the field before spending a year as an executive director of a home healthcare company.

Rahees said: “I have been impressed with the emphasis on both resident and employee welfare. The home has an inclusive environment where everyone is treated with respect and compassion. My aim is to maintain the highest quality of service with maximum occupancy and achieve an Outstanding rating from the CQC within the next year.”

Originally a private Victorian house, Meadow View has undergone several refurbishments since being repurposed as a nursing home in 1986. It has been extended in three areas, making it the largest of family-run Wellbeing Care’s three homes.
