Meet The Manager

Maxine Mills is Manager at Halvergate House.

"I have been in the care industry for 35 years and started because I wanted to help people and make a difference.

I have worked my way up, managing many homes for over 10 years and gaining experience in every area of the homes. My drive to become a manager was never about the position—it was because I wanted to make a difference in people's lives, and I quickly realised I needed to be in a position to do this. I love my job and being able to fulfil what I started out to achieve.

I feel that being a good manager is about being a good listener and acting, working as a team that is all amazing, and creating a positive, uplifting environment."

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

Halvergate House has monthly audits on infection control, medication, environmental issues, the kitchen, hoists, meal times, health and safety and fire. There are regular manager walkabouts, risk assessments, CQC and safeguarding and action plans put in place. 

The manager has an open door policy for anyone to come to discuss any concerns they have which are acted on quickly. We have a safe environment and place importance on support staff having the training and skills to carry out the work in a safe manner.
