Station Road, Great Shelford, Cambridge CB22 5LR

NEW CARE HOME OPENING SOON!

Nestled in the peaceful village of Great Shelford approximately four miles outside of Cambridge, Barley Manor Care Home is situated on Station Road, less than five minutes from Shelford station. Great Shelford and its surrounding areas include notable sites such as the River Cam and King’s College Chapel.

This quaint location was home to children’s author Philippa Pearce OBE for a number of years, who based her books in a fictional version of the village renamed ‘Great Barley’, which is where our home’s name originates from. On its own, Great Shelford has all the amenities one could wish for, including a weekly farmers’ market, however, it’s close proximity to the city of Cambridge makes it the ideal location for those looking for the best of both worlds.

Barley Manor Care Home will offer 24-hour residential, nursing and dementia care within an environment purpose-built for the practical delivery of high-quality care whilst still being stylish, comfortable and incorporating many thoughtful features that are always tailored towards the satisfaction and safety of our residents.

Experienced and empathetic care comes as standard at every Porthaven care home, and at Barley Manor our team of hand-selected individuals will be available to support not only the physical needs of our residents but their emotional, intellectual and spiritual needs too. We place a particular emphasis on encouraging independence and promoting wellbeing through good nutrition, hydration and engagement.

Every resident at Barley Manor Care Home will benefit from a generously sized bedroom with an ensuite wetroom, as well as numerous communal living areas for socialising with loved ones, engaging in their hobbies and dining. Our residents will also have access to our state-of-the-art gym, cinema, café and hair and nail salon. A dedicated activities and wellbeing room and a private dining room for special family occasions completes the array of first-class facilities on offer here at Barley Manor.

Barley Manor Care Home is a place to live well in our care in style. We would be delighted to speak to you and show you around our home so you can see for yourself what makes a Porthaven home so special.

To find out more please give us a call on 01223 918 100 or, if you prefer, simply send us a message.

Meet our Home Manager, Narcis

Narcis joins us with nine years of experience in the senior care industry, before which he worked as a firefighter and paramedic. Narcis has been a qualified nurse since 2014, which is also the year he moved to England. Throughout his career, Narcis has been a Home Manager for several other care providers.

Looking to the future, Narcis is excited to form a reliable, strong and enthusiastic team who will work together to provide exceptional care and establish our home as a top choice in Cambridgeshire for nursing, residential and dementia care.

Outside of work, Narcis is a big fan of sports, particularly skiing, boxing, football and fishing! Narcis also has two children aged six and one, who he spends as much of his spare time with as possible.

Welcome to the team, Narcis!

We are thrilled to introduce our very first team members, Denise and Narcis!

This dynamic duo are joining us as our Client Services Manager and Home Manager respectively. Starting in our Windsor head office, Denise and Narcis have spent the day getting to know our senior management team and learning more about what it means to be a part of Porthaven Care Homes.

We will be giving you an in-depth introduction to Denise and Narcis soon, so watch this space!
