Meet The Manager
Linda Dodd is Registered Manager at Thorn Park Care Home..
I have over 25 years, experience of working within health and social care, for the past 20 years of my career I have been a Registered Manager in both residential care homes and supported living services.
I have GNVQ Advanced in health and Social Care, BTEC National Diploma in Health and Science Studies, Diploma in Community Mental Health and Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management.
I am proud to have the support of the Deputy Manager Sarah Latham, as well as the rest of the Thorn Park Team.
Bought by Mannamead Care in 2010, Thorn Park is set within a beautiful 1880 Victorian mansion. Marble fire places take pride of place in the living and dining rooms, complimented by beautiful ornate decoration. The home has retained its Victorian grandeur, combined with a comfortable and welcoming feel, a truly tranquil place to live.
Based in a residential area, close to the city centre, Thorn Park is within easy access to other nearby locations by public transport, with a bus stop right outside the home. The home is also located in a conservation area, near to a spacious and well-kept park; perfect for walks in the summer. The rear south facing gardens are private, enclosed and secure, ideal for residents who want to read a book in the sunshine, or enjoy light refreshments with friends and family.
Every individual who comes to live at Thorn Park is valued and treated with the respect and dignity according to their individual needs and wishes.
