Meet The Manager

Louise White is General Manager at Silverbirch House Care Home.

I was born in to a nursing family and my passion from a very early age was to care for others.

Working in the adult care sector for over 30 years, I have gained vast experience to manage care homes in a person centred manner to ensure that each resident receives outstanding care and to ensure that they feel at home, settled and safe.

I am extremely passionate in my job role and strive to ensure that my team work to the highest standards and share my knowledge with them to ensure that all have full understanding of what my expectations as the general manager are to deliver exceptional and compassionate care to our residents.

Supporting, reassuring and communicating with residents and their loved ones is my highest priority and enriching our residents lives to the fullest.

Louise White

Silverbirch House has been specifically designed to provide high-quality elderly care, including residential care, as well as care and support for individuals living with dementia. 

As a Barchester home, our experienced and compassionate staff work hard to ensure care is tailored the needs of each resident. Many of our staff are responsible for instilling our values of respect and dignity. Our person-centred approach is reflected across all aspects of life within the home.

Residents have a choice of nutritionally balanced meals three times a day, which along with our snack and night bite menus, offer residents a wide choice at a time that suits them. 

We offer an array of stimulating activities every day that are tailored to the interests and abilities of the people we support. Each activity is designed to enhance life skills and give a feeling of purpose and self-worth, encouraging residents to choose whether to continue with existing hobbies or try something new.

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

We are now using handheld digital technology called 'Enable' internally to develop, update and manage our care and life enrichment documentation for residents. We work with one of the UK’s major digital care home documentation providers and have a bespoke platform to manage documentation digitally which aligns with our wish to deliver the highest quality individual care and life enrichment.

You will see our team members using hand-held devices as the care plans and life enrichment preferences will be accessed via the device on an App. This will mean that it may look like our teams are using their mobile telephones, rest assured this is not the case and all technology used in the home is there to support our residents and relatives.

There are so many benefits in moving to using digital technology to care for our residents, and for the staff working at the home including improving communication and collaboration between teams, increasing accuracy of care intervention recording and becoming more environmentally friendly.

Activities Are So Important

We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.
