Meet The Manager

Carmela Magbitang is Home Manager at Dormy House.

Originally from the Philippines I am a nurse by profession, and I’ve been working in the care sector for about 15 years, since I moved to the UK. I continually try to enhance my knowledge and skills as a nurse.

I was part of an NHS pilot project designed to reduce hospital admissions, not just in residential care but for any elderly person at home. It was a fascinating project, and I am proud to have been at the forefront of this initiative.

What truly resonates with me is the personal connection I foster with the residents. I prioritise spending meaningful time with them, integrating myself as a familiar presence rather than just an authority figure, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I sit next to them and find the time to check the whole home’s environment and work closely with my wonderful team here at Dormy. For me, caregiving is a heartfelt commitment to providing the level of care I would want for my own family.

Not all care homes are the same, and not many have all the charm of a converted country house that overlooks a national landmark golf course.

Dormy House care home has no handicap and boasts all of this and more, in a quiet setting in Sunningdale, close to Ascot, Bracknell and Virginia Water. It’s a wonderful lifestyle with the best in care, supporting residents with a wide range of needs, whether that’s residential care, nursing care, or care for those living well with dementia. Care is also offered for permanent, respite, convalescent and palliative care.

All the bedrooms are en-suite, and the amenities include a conservatory, hair salon and barbers, 1950’s-themed café, and lounge areas to welcome visiting family or friends. The established and mature gardens abound with wildlife to watch, and every day there’s a range of activities to keep mind, body and soul active.

There are also regular outings to nearby destinations such as Windsor Great Park, the Savill Garden, Kew, and the local shops, cafés and charming pubs.

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.
