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 working within the government guidelines to help protect our staff and clients.

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

Our Building and Facilities

Large corporate ‘Travel Lodge’ style homes may seem attractive to us, the younger generation, because we’re used to them.

However, for Mum or Dad they can seem like large, anonymous, intimidating, institutional style buildings that are a world away from what they’re used to.

They’re so big that you can’t get to know everyone and rattling down those long corridors to see those you do know can be a real chore.

They’ll feel much more at home with the cosy, comfortable, traditional feel of the rooms at Westerleigh where everything is easily accessible and you don’t need a walkie talkie just to hold a conversation across the living room.

Activities Are So Important

There’s always something fun and engaging for your loved one to get involved in at Westerleigh. We don’t need much of an excuse for a party and have had great fun hosting Wimbledon tennis days with lots of strawberries and cream and Derby days with everyone ‘betting’ on their own horse.

We pride ourselves on providing opportunities for friendship and helping our residents to regain their independence and enjoyment of life through providing daily activities that they used to like but have stopped doing recently. Things like bingo, quizzes and word search, dominoes, flower arranging, baking, arts and crafts, and singing and dancing.
