Meet The Manager
Ria Willett is General Manager at Mount Tryon.
My background consists of being an Army intensive care nurse so I am extremely organised, caring and efficient. I have 16 years of nursing experience, which includes 10 years of intensive care experience. I have gained valuable knowledge of caring for residents and understand it is crucial to provide gold standard care for the individual and their families.
Here at Mount Tryon we have a beautiful home full of wonderful residents and a fantastic team of staff. We are here to motivate and empower residents to live a fulfilling life in a premium setting. I understand making the decision to move your loved one to a care home can be a daunting experience, but I am here to help you with the journey, answer all of your questions and make the transition a positive one for you and your loved one.
Mount Tryon Care Home in Torquay provides first-class nursing and residential care for frail older people. We pride ourselves on delivering person-centred care for a variety of needs, ranging from nursing and personal care to illnesses related to ageing and dementia. Our team of highly qualified nursing staff are supported by carers, activities staff and a physiotherapy team, ensuring the well-being of everyone we support.
The purpose-built home is built over two floors and is fully equipped with assisted baths and equipment to aid safe moving and handling. All the bedrooms are single with en-suite facilities and some have patio doors with access to our beautifully designed gardens. There are several lounges and two dining rooms, where visitors will also be assured a warm welcome.
Mount Tryon is ideally located, benefiting from being close to local beaches, the harbour and the town centre. There are breathtaking views and lots of local amenities to enjoy, all within very close range.

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 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
We are delighted that the majority of our residents, patients and staff have now been vaccinated. And we'll do everything we can to ensure that all new residents, patients and staff are vaccinated, where medically able to to, or are willing o be vaccinated before moving in or working in our homes and hospitals. We also ensure that any new residents and patients coming into our homes and hospitals , whether from the local hospital or the community have been tested in advance and are negative for COVID-19. We continue to have a robust supply chain of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) in place, and our staff are using this in accordance with the Government guidance. All of our staff, irrespective of their role will be wearing protective face masks at all times to ensure the safety of our residents and team. We continue to implement our advanced cleaning practices, and have clear standards in the case of managing any confirmed or suspected cases. All staff practise good hand and respiratory hygiene to prevent the spread of germs, and surfaces that are often touched are cleaned and disinfected frequently. We're proud to be the only care provider to win the RoSPA Health and Safety Award in both 2019 and 2020. |
