Dovecote Manor is a modern, purpose-built care home and provides long-term residential, residential dementia and end of life care.

Situated in the town of Bletchley, just outside Milton Keynes and close to Bletchley Park, our intimate home has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that prides itself on giving consistently attentive and personalised care to residents and their families. We’re part of the local community too, with regular visits from local schools and team members living in the surrounding areas of Fishermead, Bucks and Buckinghamshire.

Our person-centred approach is at the heart of everything we do, we support the people who live here to choose how they spend their time, and carers develop a plan to cater for each individual’s needs. As a family-run home, it is this mindful and supportive philosophy that sets us apart from other care homes.

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.
