Meet The Manager
Kim-Marie Newton is General Manager at Metchley Manor.
"I have almost 20 years’ experience of working in health and social care. I’ve worked for the Care Quality Commission and as a Care Coordinator, Home Support Officer and General Manager.

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 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Since the early stages of the pandemic, our teams have been working to a pandemic plan which is updated regularly to reflect any changes to either UK or Scottish government guidance. This plan includes a range of measures aimed at both reducing the likelihood of new Covid-19 infections and reducing the spread of infections where they occur. |
