Richmond Villages Nantwich has announced the appointment of Abbi Jones as its new Care Home Manager, becoming only the fifth registered manager to lead the village since it first opened its doors to residents 30 years ago.

With over 14 years of dedicated experience working in health and social care, Abbi brings exceptional expertise, compassion, and proven leadership to the role. Her appointment represents a significant milestone for the village and underscores Richmond Villages Nantwich's commitment to providing the highest standard of care to its residents.

Abbi’s career in care began immediately after college, where she started as a care assistant and steadily progressed through increasingly responsible positions, including senior care assistant and care coordinator in domiciliary care. Her professional journey has been intrinsically linked to Richmond Villages, having previously served as a senior carer at the village before moving into the NHS and later taking on management roles in domiciliary care.

Recognising the exceptional quality of Richmond Villages Nantwich, Abbi returned to the village last year as Deputy Manager and has now progressed into her new position as Care Home Manager, which is a testament to her talent and the village's investment in nurturing its leadership pipeline.

Speaking about her appointment, Abbi commented: "Everybody locally knows Richmond Villages, and people always have something positive to say about it. The feedback from residents and families really speaks for itself, and it makes you feel proud to be part of something so well thought of."

She added: "No two days are ever the same, which I love, but what really stands out is the support from the whole village team. Whether it's care staff, hospitality, housekeeping, or kitchen teams, everyone works together to make sure residents receive the highest standard of care possible."

Lynne Griffin, Village Manager at Richmond Villages Nantwich, commented: "Abbi’s appointment as Care Home Manager is a tremendous achievement and reflects her dedication and expertise. We're confident that her leadership will continue to enhance the exceptional care and support our residents receive."
