Meet The Manager

Catherine Beswick is Home Manager at Kingston House.

Welcome to Kingston House care home.

I support families like yours everyday, and know that choosing a care home can feel, well, a bit scary.

That’s why, for over 25 years at Greensleeves Care we’ve been working to make moving into care less daunting. I’m excited to show you what Kingston House has to offer.

It all starts with our 6-week no-obligation trial, so you get to try before committing longer term. Our approach to care means you get skill with a smile, a nice cuppa before you even realise you want one, and a joke when you need it. We think that’s all part of good caring.

Being a charity means our focus is on people, not pockets. And with our Home for Life Commitment, you’ll never be asked to leave if your funds run out. Because that’s part of good caring too.

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've taken the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of residents.

Infection Control Initiatives in place
safe-tick Infection Screening We are using technology to screen for infections & monitor symptoms.
safe-tick Sterilisation & Disinfection Devices We are using sterilisation and/or disinfection devices within our care setting.
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.
