Meet the West Abbey Care Home Team

Hello, my name is Amanda Oxley, and I am proud to be the General Manager at West Abbey Care Home.

I feel truly privileged to work for Barchester Healthcare, a company whose values, support, and family spirit really shine through everything we do. Barchester’s commitment to high-quality, person-centred care is something I’m deeply passionate about, and it’s what makes this role so rewarding.

Having spent many happy holidays in Somerset, I’m delighted to now call this beautiful part of the world my professional home. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed so warmly by both our wonderful residents and our dedicated team. It already feels like family.

At West Abbey, our priority is to provide the very best in premium care, comfort, and companionship. Every resident is treated with kindness, dignity, and genuine respect and we always go the extra mile to make every day meaningful. Whether it’s sharing a laugh, enjoying a freshly baked slice of cake, or simply taking time for a chat, we believe that the little moments matter most.

My door is always open, whether you’re a family member, a visitor, or simply curious to see what life at West Abbey is like. Please do pop in for a cuppa and a friendly chat; we’d love to welcome you and show you what makes our home so special. 

With over six years of management experience within Barchester, I’m excited to continue building on our reputation for excellence, ensuring West Abbey remains a place where residents feel truly at home and cared for like family.
