Meet the Moors Manor Care Home Team

Our staff are what hold the home together. Each one of these team members are dedicated to providing high quality care and services to those we support, and ensuring that residents enjoy all aspects of life at our home. See below to meet some of our friendly faces:

Gemma Chalkley

General Manager

Hello. My name is Gemma Chalkley and I am the General Manager here at Moors Manor. Welcome to our website. My aim is to ensure residents, staff, families and visitors all feel they are in a caring, welcoming environment and being supported by every member of our team.

I have worked in adult care for 16 years with broad experience in the care sector. I started as a carer in a residential setting, quickly progressing to Senior and eventually changed course to nursing, where I became a Care Practitioner and gained clinical skills and knowledge alongside nurses. 

Barchester has a high standard of care and superior lifestyle delivered throughout the company, and I endeavour to deliver those same values in our home. I am passionate about elderly care and I love making people smile by doing all I can to brighten their day. I am always available for a chat about our home, staff, services and most importantly, our residents.

Out of work, I am a mum to a teenage boy and have 2 dogs, who are my babies! I enjoy reading, Marvel films, paddle boarding and family time.
