Meet The Manager
Karen Johnson is Manager at The DurhamGate Care Home.
Karen has over 30 years’ experience working within the care industry. Starting as a care assistant she was promoted to gain her first care home managers role at the age of 23! After relocating to Australia for three years, she returned to the care management role and went onto successfully commission four elderly care homes. Within the same organisation, she then worked as an Operation’s Manager supporting the groups homes. Due to the sale of the business, she returned to the management role and upheld an Outstanding rating by the Care Quality Commission.
Karen is committed to providing the residents with the best possible person-centred care. She has extensively travelled throughout the world but is now a self-declared crazy cat lady!
