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 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
The safety and wellbeing of our Residents is our priority; we've taken significant steps to ensure this. We've developed a robust operational quality management system that defines the way that we work, which is monitored by a Clinical Governance Group and inspected by our own team in Service Quality Inspectors. All homes have an infection control champion. Through a range of feedback mechanisms, we constantly monitor the quality of our services by actively encouraging confidential and open compliments, complaints or concerns from Residents, Colleagues, Relatives and Health and Social Care Professionals; this valuable feedback helps us to evolve our services and shape the way that we work. |
||
| Infection Control Initiatives in place | ||
|---|---|---|
 |
Infection Control Training | Our staff are trained to use measures which prevent and control infections. |
|
Virus Testing | We are testing for viral infection when symptoms present within our care setting. |
| 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.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
Assisted by suggestions from our residents, our Wellbeing Coordinators at Perry Locks Care Home organise a varied year-round programme of activities. Many Residents take pleasure in hobbies, including baking, writing, gardening, dancing, painting, quizzes, and playing chess. Some enjoy being members of the Residents’ Forum. By getting to know each individual resident at Perry Locks, our carers can encourage everyone to take an active part in the life of the care home. Simple pleasures are hugely important: the morning walk, feeding the birds, a little light weeding, baking cakes for one of our fundraising tea parties, laying the dining table, arranging flowers or distributing the post each day. But we also know and respect that our residents value having some time alone, too, and we want these moments to be as joyful as any other. The best way to experience life at this highly-reviewed Perry Barr care home is to come and see it. Use this simple form to book a visit. |
