West Bromwich MP, Shaun Bailey, was among the attendees celebrating the 21^st birthday of New Manor Care Home in Newbury Lane, Oldbury.

Staff, many of whom have been with the home since the beginning, were presented with awards during the celebratory event.

Bailey said: “I want to extend a massive thank you to each and every one of you gathered here today. This is a special moment of appreciation dedicated to all of you. Your unwavering resilience and commitment throughout the pandemic was nothing short of extraordinary and the care and support you provide to residents on a daily basis makes an immeasurable difference to their and their families’ lives.”

Newbury Manor’s owner, Shindar Chall, who organised the event, said: “As we celebrate our care home’s 21st birthday, I am overwhelmed with appreciation for the exceptional team we have here. The connections we have forged with our residents and among ourselves make Newbury Manor a place of warmth, love, and genuine care.

“Our home’s culture of respect and genuine care has created a workplace where staff members feel valued, appreciated, and motivated to stay for the long term. It’s this atmosphere that enables them to form deep connections with our residents and colleagues, resulting in an exceptional level of care and support. I extend the biggest thank you to all our employees for being the heart and soul of this incredible home.”

The home, which is rated good in all areas by the Care Quality Commission, was recognised as one of Sunday Times best companies to work for in 2023.
