Activities at Port Manor Care Home

Our new luxury care home in Seaford, has opened its doors in style, with a Grand Opening performed by the Mayor of Seaford, Councillor Maggie Wearmouth, in front of invited guests from the local community.

Barchester’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr Pete Calveley, and General Manager, Nancy Walford, hosted the event and invited guests to view our stunning new 55 bed care home, along with its beautiful landscaped gardens, which is now open and welcoming its first residents. The home has been designed with residents’ comfort in mind and our team here at Port Manor will offer residential support, respite stays and specialised dementia care, all delivered by our dedicated and passionate team of trained professionals.

At Barchester, everything revolves around the residents. From the person-centred care, to the dining experience and hospitality which is tailored to residents’ tastes and preferences, and the programme of life enrichment activities which offer choice that supports resident well-being across mind, body and soul. Each resident is an individual, and so too is the care that Barchester provides, and resident choice plays a really big part in that.

Our General Manager, Nancy Walford, commented: “We are delighted our home is now open, our residents are at the heart of everything we do at Port Manor, and we look forward to welcoming them and their families, and becoming an active part of the local community.

“We take pride in really getting to know each of our residents to provide tailored care and support, ensuring dignity and choice in every aspect of daily life.”

Barchester’s CEO, Dr Pete Calveley, added: “Port Manor is going to be a wonderful home, Nancy and her team here will offer personalised care for the people of Seaford and the surrounding area in this lovely setting. We’re thrilled to add Port Manor to our Barchester family of quality care homes and hospitals.”

We want to say a huge thank you to the wonderful Melanie Redstone, image Consultant and Personal Stylist, for coming to us yesterday and delivering the most wonderful presentation. It was a relaxed and inspiring talk on the impact of colour and how wearing the right tones can make all the difference.

Everyone who came along thoroughly enjoyed the event and left with a lot to think about when it comes to styling ourselves. Follow Melanie's Facebook page for more details on how to contact her and how to arrange a personal session if you require.

We would also like to thank everyone who joined us for coming along and our wonderful kitchen team for providing the delicious food! 

We recently hosted our first Coffee with a Coppa event yesterday. We were fortunate enough to be visited by PCSO Jane Disney from Sussex Police who took time out of her incredibly busy schedule to deliver a scam prevention talk.

The talk was so detailed and informative, Jane was so helpful. She gave some great advice on how to keep safe but always what do you if you think you have been or are in the process of being scammed.

Thank you Jane for your time and for being so helpful! 

We will be hosting more events like this so if you missed this one, keep your eyes peeled for more and of course, always stay safe!

Here at Port Manor Care Home we understand that comfort and quality are important for many people when choosing the right home for them.

We are proud to say that we have 19 Premium rooms in our home, 5 of those are on the ground floor with doors leading to a private patio area and the ones at a higher level have wonderful views.

Our premium rooms come with added extras including more space to enjoy, if you think this would be ideal for you or your loved one then do contact us to arrange a tour.

Here at Port Manor Care Home we are so excited to announce our very first Employee of the Month, Lori!

The weeks prior to the home opening are incredibly important and Lori has been such a huge help and support to all her colleagues, people inquiring to the home and our community contacts.

She is the first person people meet when they come through our doors and she is always full of happiness, smiling and welcoming.

Congratulations Lori this award is truly deserved! 

We were so excited to welcome our new team to Port Manor this week.

The team will be spending the next 5 weeks training together ahead of welcoming our first Residents this August, they are a wonderful group of caring, fun loving and passionate individuals with a wealth of experience and we can't wait to make Port Manor a fantastic home together.

Yesterday we hosted our very first community event at Port Manor Care Home and it was a wonderful evening.

We opened our doors to our neighbours to thank them for their patience during the process of the homes build. We wanted to give them a ‘sneak peek’ tour of the home and a chance to talk through questions they had.

It was lovely to meet everyone who attended and we look forward to our relationship here on out! 

What a great day today as the Leadership Team of Port Manor got together to discuss how collectively we can create a fantastic culture, ensuring Port Manor is a wonderful environment for our team and Residents to thrive.

It was great to get to know each other, we had some great conversations, wonderful insights, self reflection and lots of fun.

The sun was shining on the Port Manor Team for our site visit today.

With the countdown on until our open weekend on 5th and 6th July we have been checking on the progress of our beautiful new home and it certainly is looking fantastic!
