Meet The Manager

Diane Collins is Home Manager at Chartwell House.

Diane joined Boutique Care Homes in August 2022 to launch Chartwell House Care Home. With over 30 years’ experience, Diane believes that caring for, and being part of another person’s life journey is an immense privilege and loves to see resident’s smile.

High quality compassionate care is Diane’s passion, and she is committed to supporting families throughout their care journey. Diane takes the time to know & understand each person’s values, preferences and wishes, treating every resident like family.

Her own personal experiences have helped Diane to understand what families are feeling and the struggles that they are facing. This drives her to provide the best service in a person-centred way for all residents and to support them to continue to lead a fulfilled and enriched life.

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

Our amazing teams continue to work tirelessly to deliver exceptional care, putting our residents at the heart of everything they do to ensure they continue to feel safe and happy, and to enable them to enjoy a fulfilling life in our homes. We are welcoming new residents and conducting safe, personal viewings of the home. We ask that visitors continue to follow best practice around hand washing and, in line with government guidance, we will be making risk-based decisions on when face masks are used at our individual homes. Please contact our care homes for the most up to date information and guidance relating to masks and outbreak procedures.
