Meet The Manager
Joanne Tyson is Home Manager at Ashton Manor Care Home.
Joanne Tyson is the Registered Manager at Ashton Manor Care Home and brings many years of experience in the care sector. She is committed to ensuring that every resident at Ashton Manor receives the best possible care in a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment.
With a compassionate and thoughtful approach, Joanne leads her team in providing care that feels personal and nurturing. She takes great pride in creating a home-like atmosphere where every resident is treated with respect and kindness. Joanne ensures that each person’s care plan reflects their unique needs and preferences, making sure they feel valued and understood. Her leadership is rooted in trust and a genuine passion for making a positive difference in the lives of those she cares for.
Life at Ashton Manor is vibrant and fulfilling, yet calm and caring. With a range of activities tailored to residents’ interests, needs, and abilities, there’s always something to enjoy. Whether it’s afternoon tea, arts and crafts, a trip for a spot of shopping or sightseeing, or simply a chat over a cup of tea in our cosy tea rooms or local cafés, every day brings opportunities for connection and joy.
We take the time to truly get to know each resident - their life story, interests, and preferences, so we can offer personalised care that feels both supportive and familiar. Our home is thoughtfully designed to be warm and welcoming, with a variety of social lounges, peaceful quiet spaces, and a beautiful garden, ensuring comfort and independence for every resident.
While we offer a lively programme of activities, we also respect the importance of quiet moments, with plenty of spaces for relaxation and reflection. We know that carers play a vital role in making life better, more comfortable, and enjoyable for our residents. Our staff are highly trained and care with genuine compassion. Families and relatives often tell us how much they appreciate the sense of joy, warmth, and family spirit within the home.
If you or your loved one is looking for a truly special, caring, and beautifully designed home offering residential, dementia, or respite care in Lancaster, we would love to welcome you to Ashton Manor.
As our Registered Manager, Joanne Tyson says: "At Ashton Manor, we believe a care home should be a place of warmth, companionship, and meaningful engagement. Whether it’s a stimulating conversation over tea, a cultural outing, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of our gardens, we ensure that every day is enriched with joy and a sense of belonging."
