Meet the Reigate Grange Team

General Manager

Fahame Aboubacar

I was privileged to join Reigate Grange in 2023 to support the team as Care Services Manager and even more delighted to move in to the role of General Manager later that year. I am a qualified RGN, a dynamic individual with excellent nursing and leadership skills. I have a track record of delivering clinical excellence in a professional manner through direct nursing care. I have Deputised for more than 10 years and also worked as Acting Manager within my journey as a Deputy Manager. I’m a qualified TTT (Train The Trainer) and also have experience in commissioning new homes. At Reigate Grange, there is a genuine team spirit of cooperation and a passion to deliver the highest quality care. As General Manager, I strive to support this ethos and make our home truly exceptional.

Clinical Services Manager

Sumitha Vijayagangadharan

I’m Sumitha, a Clinical Services Manager at Reigate Grange with over 26 years of clinical experience in Acute and nursing home settings, holding qualifications in General, Medical, Surgical, Paediatric, Psychiatric, Obstetric and Community nursing. I’ve earned a State Award of Merit in Medical and Surgical Nursing and completed post-graduation in Gerontological Nursing and End of Life care in Ireland. Passionate about elderly care, I’ve worked in India, Malaysia, Ireland, and the UK, specializing in Acute stroke units. My goal is to provide dignified care to elderly residents, ensuring loved ones’ peace of mind. Progressing into management, I now mentor and empower large teams. I feel privileged to work for Signature where the values of the organisation align with my own.

Dementia Care Manager

Mariyana Storey

I first joined Signature in October 2020 as a Care Supervisor in the dementia care community. I was then promoted to the role of Dementia Care Manager. If there is one thing that I’ve learned in my years of working with people living with dementia, it is: The happiest and most fulfilled people are those who devote themselves to something bigger and more unique. There is nothing more rewarding than helping the most vulnerable people to continue to live their lives with dignity and respect.

Business Admin Manager

Diane Swinton

I joined Reigate Grange in November 2022 as the Business Admin Assistant. I recently got promoted to Business Admin Manager and I feel so privileged to be part of the amazing team here. Prior to working in the Care industry I was a PA to a Regional Manager for a well-known supermarket chain. I now feel that I make a difference every day to someone’s life which is thoroughly rewarding. I do a lot of work behind the scenes around HR, finance and support for all of the staff and managers ensuring our residents get the best care.

Hospitality Supervisor

Holly Durban

I’ve spent most of my professional life in hospitality, but a few years ago I realised I wanted to do something more meaningful and rewarding. That decision led me to the care sector and ultimately to Signature at Reigate Grange.

Since joining the team, I’ve progressed from Hospitality Assistant to Hospitality Supervisor, and now manage the Activities Department. I love engaging with our residents every day and creating fun, thoughtful activities that they can truly look forward to.

What motivates me most is building a warm, vibrant atmosphere where residents feel valued, entertained, and cared for. It’s a real privilege to be part of their lives and to help make each day a little brighter.

Maintenance Manager

Dean Ferrari

I am Dean Ferrari Maintenance Manager at Reigate Grange. I started at a previous Signature home as a maintenance assistant, progressing to be Manager and moved to Reigate Grange in 2023. Prior to coming into the care industry, I enjoyed renovating houses and did a lot of travelling for work. I thoroughly enjoy working here at Reigate and strive to keep the home and grounds to an excellent standard for our residents.
