Meet the Manager
Julie-Anne Thomson
Care Home Manager
Since joining Meallmore in 2012 as a carer, I’ve been fortunate to grow my career within a company that truly values and supports its people. I’m proud to now lead the wonderful team at Auchtercrag House, having recently moved from St Modans, bringing with me years of experience and a deep passion for person-centred care.
At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to listening – to our residents and their families – so we can understand their wishes and deliver the highest quality, individualised care.
I strongly believe in leading by example, and one of my top priorities is ensuring our team feels supported, especially when it comes to learning and development. When our staff thrive, so do our residents.
Auchtercrag House has been thoughtfully designed to feel like home, with a beautiful environment that offers both comfort and security. We’re especially proud of our dedicated dementia care unit, where residents living with dementia receive care that is truly tailored to their needs in a calm, familiar setting.
We’re closely connected to our local community and work hand-in-hand with healthcare professionals to ensure we’re always providing safe, up-to-date, and confident care. Many of our team are local too, which brings a real sense of belonging and togetherness to life at Auchtercrag.
Above all, we want residents to feel at home - to live well, stay connected, and keep doing the things they love. Whether it’s enjoying a hobby, joining in on an activity, or simply sharing a laugh with our staff, life here is about making every day as meaningful and joyful as it can be.
We’d be delighted to welcome you into the Auchtercrag family.
