Meet The Manager
Su Heller is Manager at Oxford Manor Care Home.
"I’m thrilled and delighted to be the home manager of this beautiful care home, and I take great pride in leading our team of dedicated and talented staff.
I have over twenty years of experience in nursing and healthcare. I aim to make a positive impact every single day by ensuring that the residents experience the highest quality of life and the very best standards of support and care.
In my spare time, I’m passionate about volunteering in my community and enjoy spending time with friends. I believe that a smile and a light-hearted approach go a long way to creating a loving ‘home from home’ environment."
