Meet The Manager
Chloe Crew is Manager at Firgrove House.
I have been working in care since I was 16 years old. I joined Manor Community in 2021. As the Care home Manager, it is important for me to make sure that our residents are empowered to remain as independent as possible. We strive to meet all their individual needs. We aim to make their stay as comfortable as possible, and we ensure that their individual goals are met in a person-centred way. At Firgrove House we can offer a homely feel and be a part of a close community.
Firgrove House is part of the multi award winning Manor Community. Firgrove House provides person-centred, rehabilitative care and support to help people achieve their goals and aspirations. Our aim is to increase independence and our vision is to see outstanding person-centred practice throughout Adult Social Care sector.
Firgrove House is a recent addition to Manor Community’s offering, following its purchase in 2022. Firgrove House was owned by Mr & Mrs Roberts and since 1987 they have worked to upgrade and constantly improve the buildings, gardens and facilities to ensure the high standard you see today.
The home is ideally situated in a lovely quiet location set back from Station Road, within easy walking distance of the new Riverside shopping complex and close proximity to Chipping Sodbury High Street and Yate Shopping Centre. It benefits from many local amenities including the cinema, leisure centre, library, shopping facilities, restaurants, cafes and many local community facilities. There is also excellent transport links by bus, road and rail.
