About Thorn Park
69 Mannamead Rd, Plymouth PL3 4ST
Bought by Mannamead Care in 2010, Thorn Park is set within a beautiful 1880 Victorian mansion. Marble fire places take pride of place in the living and dining rooms, complimented by beautiful ornate decoration. The home has retained its Victorian grandeur, combined with a comfortable and welcoming feel, a truly tranquil place to live.
Based in a residential area, close to the city centre, Thorn Park is within easy access to other nearby locations by public transport, with a bus stop right outside the home. The home is also located in a conservation area, near to a spacious and well-kept park; perfect for walks in the summer. The rear south facing gardens are private, enclosed and secure, ideal for residents who want to read a book in the sunshine, or enjoy light refreshments with friends and family.
Every individual who comes to live at Thorn Park is valued and treated with the respect and dignity according to their individual needs and wishes.
With person-centred care at the forefront of our organisation, we have committed to using leading industry technology to aid staff communication, the creation of care plans, and the smooth running of daily routines – all of which aim to enhance the quality of care we provide residents.

We also have a person-centred medication process, whereby medication is kept in safes in residents’ rooms, ready for staff to administer.

I have over 25 years, experience of working within health and social care, for the past 20 years of my career I have been a Registered Manager in both residential care homes and supported living services.
I have GNVQ Advanced in health and Social Care, BTEC National Diploma in Health and Science Studies, Diploma in Community Mental Health and Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management.
I am proud to have the support of the Deputy Manager Sarah Latham, as well as the rest of the Thorn Park Team.
We are committed to deliver high quality person-centred care and support in a happy homely environment, where our residents genuinely feel that it is their home, they feel relaxed, valued and fulfilled in their daily lives and our commitment to support the staff team, to develop their skills and expertise to empower them to be inspired by the work they do.
We are privileged to have such a diverse staff team who have a wealth of skills, experience and talent, and each of them are able to contribute something positive in their work. We are St Luke’s Six Steps End of Life Champions, which has enabled us to advance our skills and knowledge in delivering exceptional quality, end of life care to our residents. Our “Dementia Champion,” works closely supporting and training our staff team in on-going initiatives to continue to improve the quality of care for residents living with dementia and to maintain their wellness.
We have an outstanding Activities Coordinator, who is highly qualified with a Diploma in Dementia Care and Mental Health and her talent and bespoke meaningful activities enriches the lives of our residents.
I am privileged to work for Mannamead Care and my knowledge and experience enables me to support and be part of the wider team within all of our services, in the role of director of operations.
