Meet The Manager

Carla Kell is Home Manager at Charlton Lodge.

I’m excited by the challenge of working at a newly commissioned care home.

A good Home Manager needs to be calm, patient, proactive, and empathetic. I understand through extensive experience that the small details make a huge difference. I’m always happy to talk through any questions or concerns residents or their families have.

I strive to ensure my team always provides the professional and empathetic care everyone deserves. Under my leadership with a previous team, we won the ‘The Team of the Year’ and ‘West Berkshire Business of the Year’ awards.

I’m married with two grown up children and I’m a keen runner. I love walking our dog or enjoy chilling out with a coffee after some retail therapy.

Carla Kell

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.

We are working within the government guidelines to help protect our staff and clients.

safe-tick Infection Screening We are using technology to screen for infections & monitor symptoms.
safe-tick Regulatory Assessment We have been assessed by the care regulator in our approach to infection control.

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

The Care Organisation has not indicated availability

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.
