Conor McManus

Job Title: Care Manager Joined: 2025

As the Care Manager of Merceode Lodge Care Home, I am deeply honoured to lead our community from its very beginning. My vision has always been to create a place where residents not only receive the highest standard of care but also feel genuinely valued, supported, and at home.


From day one, my goal has been to build a warm, inclusive environment where every individual is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. Together with my dedicated team, I strive to foster a culture grounded in trust, excellence, and meaningful connections, ensuring that our residents thrive and feel part of a true family.


It’s a privilege to guide this journey, helping shape a care home that stands as a beacon of quality, kindness, and community spirit.


Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my wife and our two German Shepherds. I find joy in life’s simple pleasures, from sharing a leisurely lunch to taking peaceful walks surrounded by scenic views. These moments help me stay grounded and remind me of the importance of balance, well-being, and appreciation in everyday life.
