    What people are saying about us

    Laura Lione
    Overall Experience
    5.0 out of 5

    Conewood Manor provided excellent care for my father. The facilities were great for my dad & the garden was a favourite place for him enjoying all the flowers & marquee, occasionally colouring or just sitting with family. The activity schedule has been prioritised and there is something for everyone. Ponies, singers, exercise and lots of themed parties to name a few.

    The staff were all so kind and compassionate and we got to know the lovely little community that is Conewood. My dad’s needs were complex and he has now recently passed away, but as a family, we knew Dad was receiving the best care and that he was happy and content, which is all anyone can ask for. I would strongly recommend it.

    Overall the care at Conewood Manor is exceptional.

    My husband has been there for well over a year and it is definitely superior to the 2 Care Homes he was in before. The attention of all the staff and management is excellent.

    Every effort is made for the residents and their families.

    An excellent addition is an Activities Team who makes huge efforts for everybody.

    The Road Less Travelled – Charting A Visionary Path Towards Success

    Despite a successful stint as one of the youngest finance directors in London, specialising in mergers and acquisitions for a prominent advertising company, Marc found his professional success to be hollow. Driven by a desire to serve the community, he left the lucrative world of finance to establish an accountancy practice and business consultancy in Lewisham. His mission was clear: guide local start-ups and small businesses toward financial transparency and profitability.

    As Marc’s consultancy flourished, he received a crucial call from Eleanor in 2005, who was struggling to keep her nursing agency afloat after 26 years. Marc took on the challenge, initiating a leap of faith that marked the beginning of a transformative journey. Today, the Eleanor Healthcare Group stands as a model business in the care sector, with over 1500 dedicated members, fluent in 112 languages, supporting over 3000 clients. The senior staff, with a combined experience of over 100 years in health and social care, has been instrumental in guiding and participating in the organisation’s remarkable growth.

    Marc draws inspiration from his team of staff care workers and frontline keyworkers, acknowledging their role in preserving the life and dignity of the most vulnerable in the community. He emphasises that Eleanor is an organization with people at its core, having created a paradigm shift in the care sector with the driving principle that social care is about people, not processes. In 2009, Marc introduced the concept of person-centric care, responding to a request from Richmond Council. Eleanor Healthcare Group led the transformation, offering tailor-made services and pioneering an outcomes-based approach in collaboration with local authorities. The organisation then took a leading role in preventive care, integrating health and social care services and introducing a novel caring model to Lewisham Council based on the Buurtzorg model.

    Despite numerous achievements, Marc sees success as just the beginning. The Eleanor family remains ready to take another leap of faith, with trust in people above processes. In the face of mounting challenges to health and social care systems, Marc has been steering Eleanor to the forefront of much-needed innovation within the UK and globally. Eleanor Healthcare Group takes pride in its identity, never compromising integrity and always preserving its true essence. The commitment to taking the road less travelled is evident as it approaches the next fork in the future of healthcare, promising to continue breaking new ground and redefine possibilities.
