Meet The Manager
Gillian Johnson is Home Manager at St Catherine's Care Home.
“Good care needs to be observed. I enjoy seeing the residents happy and content.” Gillian achieved her nursing qualifications a little later in life; however, this hasn’t stopped her from thriving. When she isn’t busy entertaining her grandchildren, she loves knitting and crafting as well as working with the community and getting everybody involved.
What makes the resident experience at St Catherine’s so special? We believe it’s our real sense of ‘family’ that has kindness, friendliness and respect right at its heart.
Our team provides 24-hour nursing care for people with a wide range of needs and specialised support for those living with dementia. We also offer short respite stays to give home carers a well-earned break. In every case we’re here to provide all the care each person’s own family could wish for.
St Catherine’s is conveniently situated in Horwich town centre close to the Middlebrook retail park and the M61. All areas of our home are fresh and cheerful with a choice of lively or quiet communal spaces where residents can relax with each other or welcome family and friends.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
Another way we can help our residents to feel at home is for them to do familiar things. So our dedicated Activities Leaders gently encourage residents to carry on doing things they enjoy. If someone had a hobby or pastime they did before they arrived, we’ll encourage them to continue it with us. Or perhaps they may like to learn something new. The important thing is that we treat every resident as an individual. If they enjoy sharing time with others, either in our home or on an organised trip out, they’re most welcome. Or, if they prefer quiet time alone, we’ll respect that too. At St Catherine's we run a busy activities programme, including regular days out, visits from entertainers, and competing in the local carnival designing a float every year, and usually winning. We also have strong links with the local church and schools, who often visit our residents. |
