Abbie Johnston
General Manager
Hello. I'm Abbie. I am the general manager here at Denmead Grange. My team and I look forward to welcoming you into our home.
I have worked in the care sector since 2012. I started my career as a Care assistant, and I then progressed to being a Senior Carer, which led me into my Deputy Manager role in 2018.
I joined Barchester Healthcare in October 2019 as the Deputy Manager of this beautiful care home when it first opened. After this role, I was able to progress into the General Manager position, which I have now proudly been in this role since March 2022. I have worked at Denmead Grange since we opened the home, and I am very passionate about the home and its journey.
I am very proud to be part of a fantastic team at Denmead Grange. We aim to ensure that as a team we deliver a high standard of person-centred care to those we support, ensuring they are at the heart of everything we do and meeting each individual's needs with the commitment they deserve.
My door is always open to residents, relatives and our team. I will look forward to meeting you all soon and welcoming you into the home.
