Meet The Manager
Janine Marshall is Registered Manager at Gotton Manor Care Home.
Hello, I am Janine Marshall, Home Manager of Gotton Manor Care Home.
I started my career in care over 20 years ago, working as a care assistant in a local nursing home. Over the years, I have worked in community care, nursing homes, residential homes and whilst I worked for a care agency, I done HCA shifts in hospitals and hospices.
I have put my all into working my way up the ranks and I have been working in supervisory and Deputy Managers posts over the last 10 years.
Since working with our fantastic team at Gotton Manor, I have felt nothing but welcomed and supported both in house and from the rest of the Harbour Healthcare team.
I am passionate about our residents receiving person centred care and I am very proud of our beautiful home and amazing views.
Gotton Manor care home provides residential, nursing, palliative care and dementia care for up to 60 older people, from respite stays to long-term residence.
This beautiful home was once a manor house; it has been refurbished with tasteful, modern decoration and continues to be surrounded by acres of countryside. It is a 10-minute drive into the town of Taunton, Somerset, where residents can access shops, amenities and a railway station.
Each bedroom is single, most have en-suite facilities and all have television points. The lounge still features the manor’s original open hearth and a piano. There are plenty of sociable dining areas which look out onto the rolling countryside.
Residents are supported to pursue their own hobbies or join in with group activities and outings. Food is home-cooked and nutritionally balanced, with dietary requirements catered for and support in eating and drinking if needed.
Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms, bringing with them a little piece of 'home' with them, when they move in.

Together we are dedicated to enhancing the wellbeing of all, through quality, excellence and fun.

We also invite local groups, schools and places of worship and entertainers into our homes. At Gotton Manor Care Home, our Lifestyle team members work hard to ensure our residents individual needs are met. Uncovering and capturing individual resident hobbies and interests, as well as resident life histories, is an essential element of success in providing personalised daily activities which residents will enjoy. Individual activities for residents are of great importance – letter writing, video calls with family members, attending churches and continuing long standing attendance at community groups and clubs can all be supported and achieved with the help of our Lifestyle team. |
