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.

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.

We provide residential care for our 43 residents in purpose-built, en suite accommodation, in a leafy area of Bowdon. We also offer respite care. It’s a wonderfully calm and welcoming space, where our passionate team delivers personalised care in a warm, supportive and safe environment. Finding a place that you can call "home" is a question of getting the right balance. Our residential care provides 24-hour support to help you maintain independence –giving you peace of mind and a place to make new friends and explore new interests. In many ways it is like living in a hotel, where you don’t need to worry about laundry, changing the bed, or cleaning your room. We will use the district nurse and GPs to provide any medical care. Our caring staff help with everyday activities, as required, like bathing and dressing or support at meal times. At the same time, there is no reason why you can’t maintain links with the local community, or develop new friendships and relationships. Care staff will help you do that, while also working hard to create a home that is itself full of opportunity and possibility. In the main living areas of the home you will find lounges where you can join in one of the many activities with others or to sit quietly with a book or newspaper. |

| Activities Are So Important |

Our beautifully landscaped gardens are the perfect place for peaceful relaxation, or to take some gentle exercise. Our green-fingered residents can even get hands-on with a bit of gardening. The hair salon offers a spot of pamper time and our coffee shop is the perfect place to get together with friends. We have a busy schedule of events and optional activities, helping residents to explore their interests and discover new ones. There are armchair exercises, arts and crafts, bingo, quizzes, bible studies, and church services. We also have a dedicated chaplain. Our residents look forward to our annual garden party and enjoy entertainment from local singers and musicians who come in, we love any opportunity for a good singalong. We are committed to providing alternative therapies such as music therapy to help alleviate isolation and the symptoms for those living with dementia. Our trained music therapist is funded by charitable donations. The therapist interacts directly with residents through live music therapy sessions. This includes singing, playing simple percussion instruments or responding to musical cues in a one-to-one or group setting. We are proud to be supported by a dedicated chaplain Rev Andrew Robinson, Who offers pastoral support to all, whatever their beliefs. Andrew is in the home four days a week, providing companionship and one-to-one pastoral support for all the residents, their families, friends and staff members irrespective of their beliefs. Andrew also organises worship for all those who wish to participate. Where appropriate, residents are encouraged to maintain links with local faith communities. |
