During this difficult time, Mistley Manor has been completely overwhelmed with the love and support that has been offered by friends, family and members of the local community, and we would like to say a few heartfelt thank yous.

To our amazing staff; you have have shown the greatest loyalty to our residents by turning up to work with a smile on your face and the determination to work through whatever challenges you may see that day.

To all the families and friends of our residents, who have shown patience and understanding when times may be busy.

Thank you to our neighbours who clap for ALL the key workers every Thursday – we even hear the horns from the boats nearby!

Thanks to our suppliers who have been working so hard keeping us safe with PPE, food and other necessities, enabling our residents to remain safe and well fed.

Our local government and the CQC for keeping us updated on where to go for tests; our Doctors and Nurses in the community for their continued support.

We would also like to extend our special thanks to Elizabeth Ralph who has made us scrubs in all colours and sizes. Lottie Mills for Arrows at my Window and Wendy Cross who have handmade Face mask straps with buttons on, for when the PPE gets too uncomfortable. Thank you also to Ipswich High School who have loaned us their science department goggles as PPE for our staff, and to all the others who have gifted us with chocolates/donuts etc!

We are so very proud of our company. We hope you are all staying safe, and we will see you all very soon
