Graham Allen
General Manager
My name is Graham Allen, and I have the pleasure of serving as the Senior General Manager here at The Manor Care Home.
I bring a wealth of experience in both commercial and operational aspects of healthcare facilities, gained across diverse settings in the UK and my native South Africa. Much of my career has focused on strong strategy and execution, particularly within the private healthcare sector – a space where Barchester is a recognised leader.
As a seasoned General Manager, my foremost passion lies in delivering exceptional, personalised care to our residents. I strive to ensure the highest standards of support from every member of The Manor Care Home team, empowering residents to live fulfilling lives. Working alongside our residents, their loved ones, and our dedicated staff brings me immense satisfaction.
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in the consistently positive feedback we receive. The Manor fosters a truly positive environment, and we extend a warm welcome to anyone who wishes to visit us.

Raneesh Devassy
Unit Manager
Throughout my nursing career, I have had the privilege of caring for people living with dementia, which has been both rewarding and inspiring. I joined The Manor Care Home team in 2019 and enjoy leading a dedicated team of staff who are committed to providing compassionate, person-centred care.
Our home has excellent systems in place that support the wellbeing and quality of life of our residents, and I am passionate about ensuring every individual feels valued, respected, and cared for.

Marc Chidgey
Life Enrichment Lead
I have been part of The Manor Care Home since 2012, starting as a kitchen assistant, where I helped serve meals and ensure residents had drinks and snacks. While working in the kitchen, I discovered how much I enjoyed spending time with residents and seeing their engagement in activities. This passion led to an opportunity to join the activities team, where I could focus on what I love most - connecting with residents and supporting their wellbeing.
I take great joy in spending time with residents, hearing their stories, and discovering the activities they enjoy. My goal is to keep our residents active, engaged, and happy, with fun and laughter always at the heart of The Manor Care Home.
