Meet The Team
Meet Apryll
Hello, my name is Apryll Staton, and I am 38 years of age. I started my interest in health and social care whilst at school studying as a GCSE. I pursued my studies at college, achieving Level 2 and 3 qualifications. Since starting my career in Care homes back in 2008, I've progressed through various roles, including carer, team leader, head of care, deputy manager, and registered manager. And have achieved my level 2,3 NVQ in Health and Social Care and level 5 NVQ in Leadership to management in Health and Social Care.
In 2025, I joined Beechcroft Care Home Ltd as a senior care assistant, stepping in as interim care manager for Southbourne in March 2026. I was drawn to Beechcroft Care Home Ltd because of their family-friendly approach to residents, and I’ve been consistently impressed with the care provided here.
I find working in care to be one of the most rewarding professions, as even the smallest gestures can significantly enhance someone's quality of life. I treat residents as I would want my loved ones to be treated—openly, honestly, and with kindness, believing that compassion costs nothing. I thrive in a collaborative environment with like-minded individuals who deeply care about our residents.
Outside of work, I cherish family time with my son and soon-to-be husband, enjoying walks and gaming together. I also love to unwind with a good series or a captivating book, always looking for ways to balance work and personal life.
Meet Megan
Hello, my name is Megan Clarke, and I am 26 years of age. With a passion for caregiving that began in 2018, I have dedicated my career to enhancing others' lives. My journey in health and social care started with my studies at school and has progressed to an NVQ Level 3 qualification. Since joining Beechcroft Care Home Ltd in 2020, during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was able to demonstrate resilience and commitment to my role.
I have progressed from a care assistant to senior staff and am currently the deputy manager at Southbourne Care Home. I thrive on improving residents' quality of life, focusing on building strong relationships with both residents and their families. Supporting my team to achieve these goals is a priority for me.
Outside of work, I recently purchased my first home with my partner, and I enjoy dedicating my spare time to home improvement projects. Travel is also a passion of mine; I love exploring new destinations through holidays and city breaks. Quality time with family, both mine and my partner's, is essential to me, as I believe in fostering strong connections with loved ones.
