About Our Team
Welcome to The Manor Nursing & Residential Care Home
The Manor is so much more than a Grade II listed building – it’s a place where compassion, dedication and kindness create a true sense of home. What makes us special isn’t just the comfortable environment or the services we provide, but the people who bring us to life: Our Team.

Our Compassionate Team of Care Home Workers
At The Manor, we are proud to be more than just a care home – we are a community. Our health care assistants, registered nurses, cooks, and housekeepers go above and beyond every day. They offer not only professional care but also patience, warmth and genuine love for our residents.
Whether it’s a smile that brightens someone’s morning, a gentle hand during a difficult moment, or the time taken to listen to a story from the past, our staff make every day meaningful. Their devotion turns routine care into a heartfelt connection. Families can rest easy knowing their loved ones are not only safe but also surrounded by people who treat them with dignity and respect.
It’s our staff’s commitment, energy and compassion that truly transforms The Manor into a wonderful place to live.

About Our Dedicated Local Community
With around 38 dedicated employees, many of whom are local, our team brings warmth, experience and continuity to the Nursing & Residential Care, Rehabilitation & Respite Care, Dementia Care, and End of Life & Palliative Care we provide. We value the loyalty and commitment of our staff, with team members having served here for numerous years. This dedication has helped us build a strong, family-like atmosphere, where residents, their families and staff form lasting connections.
With qualified nurses on duty 24 hours a day, and a local doctor available Monday to Friday, residents can feel reassured that medical care is always close at hand. We also welcome regular visits from a dentist, optician, chiropodist, and hairdresser, ensuring that health needs, personal comfort and wellbeing are met.

About Shannon Young, Our Registered Manager
Shannon began her career in care in 2018, working as a healthcare assistant whilst raising her young family. From the very beginning, she felt a true sense of belonging at The Manor and knew that this was where she wanted to grow and make a difference. Over the years, her passion for providing quality care only deepened. In December 2023, she was proud to become the home manager. Her journey has been driven by a genuine dedication to healthcare, ensuring every resident is treated with compassion, respect, and the highest standard of care.
“Our manager Shannon has done a wonderful job in maintaining the upkeep of The Manor by applying her exceptional organisational skills and her very person-centred approach. Every person in this building feels very valued and appreciated through her kind and compassionate nature.”
