Meet The Manager

Hayley Salter is Home Manager at Allonsfield House.

I have worked in the care sector for over 18 years in a variety of settings. I am very passionate about my role, and it makes me feel proud knowing that I have made a difference by supporting our residents to improve their quality of life and to be part of the amazing team we have here at Allonsfield.

I have only recently joined Kingsley but I am impressed with the core values that are promoted within the homes, making us feel like a family. In my spare time I like to read and spend time with my family. I also like to exercise and I and run every other day and partake in 10km runs in the local areas of Suffolk.

Infection Control Initiatives in place
safe-tick Infection Control Training Our staff are trained to use measures which prevent and control infections.

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.

Description

Here at Allonsfield we aim to create as homely an atmosphere as possible. We achieve this in many ways, but partly by ensuring that there are comfortable places to go for some quiet time, to listen to music or read a book. All the time you will feel supported, cared for and loved by friends and family.

All residents are encouraged to furnish and decorate their rooms in the way they prefer, bringing in their precious pieces of furniture, photos and ornaments. The bedroom is a resident’s personal space and we want him or her to feel comfortable, at home and very happy in it.
