Nothing beats a surprise party — and that was exactly how colleagues and residents at Ashton Manor Care Home in Lancaster chose to celebrate a special milestone for Home Manager Joanne Tyson. Joanne is marking 10 years working alongside Syd Coombes, with experience across both Active Pathways and Evermore Care before taking on her current role leading the Lancaster care home.
Over that time, Joanne has become a familiar and trusted presence within the home. She is known for taking the time to listen to residents and their families, building relationships that feel genuine and lasting. “You can see that caring for others isn’t just a role for Joanne, it is part of who she is.”
Families often describe Joanne as part of their own, while she speaks about residents as her extended family - something that comes through in the way she leads Ashton Manor day to day.
Ashton Manor Care Home in Lancaster provides residential care, dementia care and respite care, with a focus on creating a warm, supportive environment where people feel truly at home.
Joanne’s 10-year milestone reflects not only her personal commitment, but also the strong culture and continuity within the team at Ashton Manor Care Home.
