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

The health, safety and well-being of residents, visitors and team members is paramount, and we can assure you that your priorities regarding safety, care, cleanliness, and enjoyment are ours too. We take this responsibility very seriously and as such, we have implemented robust infection control measures in line with Government and Public Health England and Public Health Wales advice to ensure the safety of everyone who lives and works within our homes. These measures include: Wearing PPE, Regular testing and temperature checking, Social distancing, Enhanced cleaning, COVID-19 training

We are pleased to report that NHS healthcare professionals are now vaccinating residents and team members at all of our homes.  We are keeping residents and relatives updated with our progress. The Covid-19 vaccination rollout programme is being driven by the local health boards in Wales and by GPs in England.  Timings vary from area to area, dependent on when NHS healthcare professionals receive a supply of vaccines and how many doses they receive in each delivery.   However, we are in regular contact with the health boards and our local GP surgeries for updates and are working closely with them to ensure everyone has the opportunity to be vaccinated safely and as soon as possible.  With two doses of the vaccine being needed for immunisation to be fully effective, we do not expect to make changes to the measures in place at our homes until after the second dose has been delivered.

Infection Control Initiatives in place
safe-tick Infection Control Training Our staff are trained to use measures which prevent and control infections.
safe-tick Infection Screening We are using technology to screen for infections & monitor symptoms.
safe-tick Virus Testing We are testing for viral infection when symptoms present within our care setting.
Safe Visiting Space

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

Bucklesham Grange is a purpose-built care home in Suffolk that allows residents to carry on with those everyday routines they cherish. They can, for example,  have a weekly hair and nail appointment in the home's luxurious hair salon, catch up with friends over fresh coffee and homemade cake in the vibrant café, or enjoy a walk around our beautiful landscaped gardens. 

The garden at Bucklesham Grange includes a greenhouse, a ‘teapot tree’ (created by residents), and six friendly chickens! Our green-fingered residents love gardening, while others prefer to sit out on the café patio area and chat with friends and family over tea and cake.

Residents can also enjoy a relaxing massage in the therapy room, have a family get-together in the celebrations room, or enjoy their favourite film at the state-of-the-art cinema.

Meanwhile, our dementia environments are designed to enhance residents' quality of life, offering stability, reassurance and familiarity.
