Meet The Manager
Nancy Welford is Manager at Barchester Port Manor.
I am a Registered Nurse with 10 years' experience in care home management. I have a passion for leading a team that delivers exceptional care, celebrating the individuality of each resident in a warm and supportive environment that is full of joy.
I understand choosing a care home can be an emotional and challenging time, and I am always here to offer a kind, supportive hand to guide you through the process. Port Manor is such a beautiful home. As a local to Seaford myself, it’s wonderful to be able to ensure that the home and residents are an active part of our vibrant community.
Ensuring residents feel safe, happy and living with joy and anticipation is a great privilege and a great responsibility, and I am committed to putting the residents at the heart of all we do at Port Manor. Here in Seaford we are blessed to have access to the South Downs and the sea. I have three dogs, so I always make good use of our beautiful surroundings.
Here at Port Manor, we're more than a care home. We're a family home. A friendly home, offering the very best care and support from a dedicated and well-trained team. Whether you're looking for residential, nursing care, on your journey with dementia, or looking for respite care, we'll always be here to help.
Every day, we help residents continue to lead meaningful lives for as long as possible. We take the time to understand each person's life story, routines, and what brings them joy to shape their care around their personal needs and wishes.
We celebrate the little things that mean everything - morning, noon and night.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
