Meet The Manager
Amanda McMahon is Registered Manager at Oxford House Nursing Home.
Amanda started her career in care in June 2007, working as a carer for Oxford House Community Care. Amanda completed her Adult Nursing Diploma training in September 2009 and joined Oxford House Nursing Home in February 2010 as a registered nurse. She was promoted to deputy manager in 2018 and became registered manager in November 2020.
Amanda decided to become a nurse as she loves helping people & receives job satisfaction from her role in helping others.
If the time has come for you to consider a nursing home, we believe that you will not find a warmer welcome than here at Oxford House.
The many customer service awards we have won over the years are the result of our long-held belief that the needs of our residents are our absolute priority.
As a small-sized, family-run home, we get to know all our residents well and are always looking for ways to make their time with us as full and happy as possible. We try to match activities to personal interests - for example, taking residents who like football to the stadium to cheer on the local team. These small things can make a big difference.
Our years of experience enable us to help new residents to settle in quickly, giving family members peace of mind that their loved one is happy and well cared for.
We want the whole family, not just the resident, to feel that they are a part of our very special nursing home.
