Meet The Manager
Julie Watts is Manager at Moorhouse.
With nearly four decades in care, I began my journey as a carer and have since progressed through roles in home management, regional management, and quality direction. My experience also includes consulting for care homes, offering support in upholding high standards. Ultimately, I discovered my true passion lies in home management, and I’m thrilled to lead the team at Moorhouse Care Home.
