Meet The Manager
Emma Tillyer is Home Manager at Oxbow Manor.
I’m a qualified Registered Nurse, and used to work at the Clatterbridge Oncology Centre, before I joined Care UK.
I’ve been working for Care UK for more than ten years now, and I joined because of the organisation’s amazing reputation for care and quality.
I’m always prepared to roll up my sleeves to support the team. I think as a manager you should always be prepared to do that. I’d do anything for my team. We stand together through thick and thin, and I’m very proud of them.
Oxbow Manor care home provides tailored care in luxurious surroundings, including permanent and short-term residential, nursing and specialist dementia care.
The home is divided into suites – collections of bedrooms with a dining room and lounge. Creating smaller communities makes it easier for residents to get to know each other and keeps hustle and bustle to a minimum. The home also has a café, cinema room and a hair and beauty salon, as well as extensive gardens and outdoor spaces.
The friendly team runs various group and personalised one-to-one activities. If your loved one wants to continue attending a local church or club, or perhaps they want to go out to enjoy a pub lunch or shopping trip, the team will support them to do so.
