Together, they have two daughters, one son, three grandchildren and another grandchild on the way. Jackie enjoys holidays, taking the time to visit new places with family and friends.

Julie Kelly

Care Assistant Julie began working at Clayton Manor in 1995. Julie has two children and two grandchildren and is green-fingered, enjoying spending time in her allotment where she grows her own vegetables.

Long and faithful service is the watchword for Clayton Manor. As one of our longest-running nursing homes, it has provided outstanding care for the past twenty years. All staff have not only a wealth of knowledge and experience under their belt, but their compassion and dedication are second to none.

Avery’s Deputy Chief Operating Officer, Lisa Soper, said of the accomplishments, “Our staff are our most important asset, and our culture is about a sense of belonging. The Clayton Manor family fully embrace and demonstrate our values of being proud, supportive, and caring, as evidenced by these achievements. I want to thank Jackie, Lynn and Julie for their continued loyalty.”

Congratulations to Jackie, Lynn, and Julie for their incredible contributions and for being valued team members.
