At Amicura, we believe exceptional care begins with understanding the people who live in our homes. Every resident brings a lifetime of experiences, achievements, and stories that continue to inspire us.
As part of Jasmine Court Highlight Week, we are proud to celebrate the extraordinary individuals who make our home so special. From military service and national duty to careers in healthcare, high-security prison work, engineering, and defence inspection, these stories reflect resilience, dedication, and responsibility.
Phillip M | A Legacy of Service and Skill
Phillip M joined the British Army through National Service at the age of 21, serving as a Royal Mechanical Engineer. Based in Devon, his role involved welding and fabrication work in Army workshops. After leaving the Army, Phillip continued contributing to vital national projects, helping to build ships, submarines, and aircraft across the UK.
His passion for service lives on through his family, with his grandsons proudly following in his footsteps. Phillip’s story highlights the strong veteran community within Jasmine Court.
Lynda H | A Life of Service, Strength, and Pride
Lynda H dedicated her entire career to military service and was also married to a soldier, living a life shaped by resilience and adaptability. During her time in the military, Lynda drove ambulances, supporting others during critical moments.Her service took her overseas to Germany before later returning to London. In one of the most remarkable chapters of her journey, Lynda served as the Queen’s chauffeur for 3–4 years.
Lynda often shares how proud she is to have worn the military uniform. Her story is one of strength, adaptability, and lifelong service, and we are honoured to celebrate her as part of the Jasmine Court family.
Evelyn B | A Life of Care, Courage, and Captivating Stories
We celebrate Evelyn B, a resident whose career reflects compassion, resilience, and a fearless sense of adventure. Evelyn began her professional journey as a nurse, working on hospital wards where care and dedication were at the heart of her role. She later changed direction and joined the Prison Service, where she was based at Garth Prison, a high-security facility housing 845 inmates, remaining there until her retirement.
Beyond her career, Evelyn has travelled extensively, spending a considerable amount of time in South Africa and embracing cultures from around the world. Evelyn is full of fascinating stories from her time in the prison service, keeping both residents and staff thoroughly entertained with her experiences and sharp wit. Evelyn’s life is a wonderful blend of service, strength, and storytelling, and we are proud to celebrate her as part of our home.
