Meet The Manager

Karen Curle is Home Manager at Cavell Court.

I first became a Home Manager back in 1987, and I’ve worked in the public and private sector in older people’s services in organisations large and small.

I enjoy supporting the team at mealtimes. It’s my chance to fetch and carry for colleagues, or to simply sit and support a resident to enjoy their meal. People are relaxed and keen to chat, so there’s a nice atmosphere. I feel privileged to have the chance to share a story or a smile and to enhance a person’s day.

Away from work, I love cooking a delicious meal from scratch. I used to live in Italy where food is such a big part of everyday life. There’s nothing better than getting friends and family together to laugh, have fun and enjoy great food.

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.

Infection Control Initiatives in place
safe-tick Infection Control Training Our staff are trained to use measures which prevent and control infections.
Safe Visiting Space
safe-tick We have a safe visiting space

All Care UK homes now have purpose-built internal or external visiting suites available which enable visits to take place from behind a sealed glass panel, using a sound system to assist with communication. Where Government guidance and local health teams allow, these suites make it possible to continue visiting even when we have a case of Covid-19 in the home.

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.

Wireless Internet access (WiFi)

Yes, our care home has WiFi in all our resident’s rooms.

Mobile Phone Network Coverage (mobile “signal”)

Yes, our care home has mobile phone signal in all our resident’s rooms.

Telephone for external calling

Our care home provides a telephone in some of our residents’ rooms.

Social media provides an up to date window on the activities within a provider's setting.

With the restrictions on visiting during the pandemic, social media platforms such as these offer real insight when you are choosing a provider.
