Our Team

Paul Fenech
General Manager
I involve myself in the day to day life of the home to ensure it is a happy and enjoyable place in which to live and work. It is important to me to make each day memorable for all of our residents and that they feel part of our family.

Denise McMillan

I am dedicated to the individual care for our residents. Understanding their rich and colourful life stories, their interests and their needs, helps shape all that we do for them. We always provide support that is as personal and unique as they are.

Jozsef Toth
Hotel Services Manager
I have been working in a hospitality industry for over 14 years. I strive to achieve excellent customer service for our residents and their relatives. I strongly believe great teamwork helps us to reach the stars and creates a welcoming environment for our residents – because we are here for them.

Paul Tworek

Meet the Manager
Paul is our General Manager at Home of Compassion, here’s a little bit more about the home in his own words:
“I believe that our residents should be treated with the highest quality of care possible and endeavour to ensure that my team and I always maintain this, whilst making each day memorable. I lead by example and involve myself in day-to-day life of our community as well as making Home of Compassion a happy and enjoyable place in which to live and work.
I take a lot of pleasure from spending time with relatives and residents, understanding the important contribution that these relationships make to the successful running of our community.
I have worked in the hospitality sector my entire career and have had the opportunity of working and managing a large private hospital as well as amazing hotels. My previous experience means that I can therefore provide a service to our residents, families, guests, and colleagues, which is the highlight of my day.
At Home of Compassion, we are one big family and everything we do is from the heart, delivering care with empathy and always being helpful to our residents and team for no other reason than to make a difference every day.
My biggest achievement is my family and I appreciate how supportive they are of what I do as I work away from home. It’s been lovely to see and explore Thames Ditton as the area is amazing and it is important that our home is part of our local community. I am a keen traveller, love cruising and holidaying, as well as countryside walks and am passionate about life, making every day count while making memories.”
