    What people are saying about us

    Lorna Wright
    Overall Experience
    5.0 out of 5

    I went to view Conewood Manor in April 2019 for my mother-in-law with trepidation, having been through a similar experience in another area for my own mum. I knew straight away I didn’t need to look any further! 

    The welcome was lovely, the building light and airy and above all there was laughter and conversation.

    I felt instantly that my mother-in-law would be in safe and happy hands here and I was right.

    Conewood looked after her well for 13 months, much longer than anyone expected. And as a family we were always welcomed and looked after.

    Overall Experience
    5.0 out of 5

    My mum came to Conewood Manor in October 2019 and she was extremely poorly.  With Conewood’s nurturing care she survived for an additional 9 months.  The staff go above and beyond for the residents (and for their family) and I can honestly say that it was their care and support that helped mum continue with her Alzheimers journey for so much longer than expected.  Every single member of staff cares and this is evident.  Mum was always clean, well-fed and looked after and I cannot fault Conewood Manor.  Mum sadly passed away on 30th June but whilst I was with her at the end the staff would continually ask me if I was ok or if I needed anything (even though they had all of the relatives to care for).  I felt that they genuinely cared for my mum.  The final act of kindness was when they all stood outside the home as mum took her last journey past them.  I would recommend Conewood without a doubt to anybody looking for care for someone they love.

    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.
