Meet The Manager
Shann Thomas is Home Director at Brockington House Care Community.
I originally qualified as both RMN and RGN and went on to join the Private Sector in 1992. I then moved to live in Africa for 17 years and ran a successful business before returning to the UK in 2014 where I joined a leading care home provider as a Home Manager. I was delighted to receive a Divisional award for Outstanding Care and Quality during my time managing a successful nursing and dementia home in Shropshire.
I am excited to join Dormy Care as know that I have the same vision to provide outstanding care to our residents in a beautiful environment and working with a team that feels more like a family.
Brockington House offers exceptional care in the finest luxury environment. Our aim is to help our ladies and gentlemen live their lives to the full, with care and support available every step of the way. Whether you have complex needs or require minimal assistance, you can feel safe in the knowledge that you have access to the very best care from truly compassionate people.
