Meet The Manager
Katrina Rayment is General Manager at Kentford Manor.
I have 20 years of experience in the care industry, most recently working as a manager for a large domiciliary and complex care agency.
I joined Care UK for the opportunities it would open as one of the UK’s leading care providers.
As a manager, I think the most important part of my role is listening. It's also essential to be empathetic, able to prioritise and to have a good sense of humour.
Any time I can spend talking to residents and my team is my favourite part of the day. Seeing residents and their families happy makes me feel fulfilled in my role.
Kentford Manor, in Kennett, Newmarket provides the best of care in beautiful surroundings. The dedicated team offers residential, nursing and dementia care on a permanent or short-term basis.
Each en-suite bedroom is designed with residents in mind, there are even larger suites available for couples. Residents can enjoy the stylish lounges, welcoming café, cinema room and hair and beauty salon. Outside the beautiful, landscaped gardens are perfect places to relax with friends and family.
Kentford Manor is divided into four smaller communities to ensure a homely environment where residents can receive the best care and support. The lifestyle team provides a varied activity programme including outings to local areas of interest.

Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.
| What we're doing to keep residents & visitors safe | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Since the early stages of the pandemic, our teams have been working to a pandemic plan which is updated regularly to reflect any changes to either UK or Scottish government guidance. This plan includes a range of measures aimed at both reducing the likelihood of new Covid-19 infections and reducing the spread of infections where they occur. |
||
| Infection Control Initiatives in place | ||
|---|---|---|
 |
Air Filtration & Purification | We are using air filtration and/or air purification devices within our care setting. |
|

|
Infection Control Training | Our staff are trained to use measures which prevent and control infections. |

| Safe Visiting Space | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|||||
| Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications |
|---|
|
Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant. Wireless Internet access (WiFi) Yes, our care home has WiFi in all our resident’s rooms. Mobile Phone Network Coverage (mobile “signal”) Our care home has mobile phone signal in some of our residents’ rooms. Telephone for external calling Yes, our care home provides a telephone in all our resident’s rooms. |
