Joanne Fenn is Manager at Nynehead Court.
Jo actually began her career at Nynehead Court at the age of 14, working at weekends delivering tea trays and washing up. She worked at Popham House in Wellington when it was a home for blind people after completing work experience, and at this stage the home was owned by the County Council. She has continued to work in the care sector ever since, mainly with Somerset Care, and for the past 16 years she has managed various care homes for them.
Jo's career has come full circle and has brought her back to the place where it began!
Nynehead Court is one of the longest-standing care homes in the UK and offers gracious retirement living in the beautiful village of Nynehead, winner of the ‘Best Small Village in Somerset’. Set in 13 acres of tended parkland and situated just 1 ½ miles from Wellington and 7 miles from the county town of Taunton, the facilities within the estate include residential care, close care housing, and grounds and facilities that are used by the residents and available for use by the general public.
