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.

Our Building and Facilities

The gardens at Oakbank Care Home have beautiful landscape views and are perfect for a relaxed stroll. We have three patio areas and a central circular feature for residents to walk around. Those who love gardening or nature can get involved in many gardening activities. In the warmer months, our residents also have the opportunity to socialise and dine outside, truly embracing the nature around us.

Our on-site hairdressers and salon at Oakbank give our residents a place to go to look and feel their best, allowing them to relax and enjoy a well-deserved pampering session. Whether it's a simple touch-up or a style transformation, our team of professionals is dedicated to going above and beyond, making sure that all our residents leave feeling beautiful and confident.

We’re lucky enough to provide our residents with a large celebration and cinema room that opens onto a balcony overlooking the front of the home. Our residents can relax in a cosy chair and watch a beloved film alone, in the company of a loved one or a fellow resident. This is highly beneficial for their mental health, concentration and memory. We can assure you there is something to captivate everyone's interest with our wide collection of films.

Each session is personalised to cater to the individual's interests, with the goal of inspiring and motivating those who choose to participate.

We are proud to offer a sensory room within Oakbank Care Home, dedicated to enlightening the senses of those with conditions such as cerebral palsy, visual and hearing impairments and dementia. The coloured lights in the dark room, soft music and objects, and distinctive sounds make up the room. Our sensory room provides our residents with a relaxing environment, as well as helping the development of communication skills and improved focus.
