Meet The Manager

Sarah Carter is Manager at Sutherlands Nursing Home.

"I am an experienced paramedic and operational manager. Having spent many years in the NHS, I am excited to continue my health and social care journey here at Sutherlands. I love leading the team in the care and support of residents to provide high-quality, person-centred care. We have a lovely home and a fantastic team.



My vision is to create a ‘home from home’ environment where residents actively organise events and make decisions about their care.

Our door is always open to visitors who want to experience our family-friendly atmosphere, and I am always happy to speak to anyone looking to start their journey towards residential care."

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

Sutherlands works within the government guidelines to help protect its staff and clients. It also offers on-site vaccination clinics and other wellbeing initiatives.

Infection Control Initiatives in place
safe-tick Independent Assessments We have been independently assessed in our approach to infection control.
safe-tick Infection Control Training Our staff are trained to use measures which prevent and control infections.
safe-tick Sterilisation & Disinfection Devices We are using sterilisation and/or disinfection devices 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.
