You’ll benefit from a friendly CQC regulated manager and care team onsite at all times. The manager is there to run the development, fix issues and to help you with anything you need. They also facilitate clubs and events and are a reassuring presence in case of an emergency. You have the peace of mind of someone onsite at all hours every day and night.

Domestic assistance
– you enjoy one hour per week of domestic help as part of your service charge and more if you would like it- for an additional fee. The team can help with tasks such as household cleaning and changing the beds, as well as errands like shopping for groceries and posting letters. 

Personal support – we offer flexible care packages so you can choose the help you need when you need it. We can help with things like going to bed and getting up in the morning, preparing breakfast, getting to and from medical appointments or support during a period of convalescence.

Laundry service - if you’d rather not do the laundry yourself, the team can take care of it all for you. They’ll collect your laundry and return it washed and ironed.

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 believe the McCarthy Stone style of retirement living came into its own during the coronavirus crisis, protecting both physical and mental health. Having a private retirement apartment allows homeowners to protect themselves against the virus more easily while also being part of a sociable community with spacious shared gardens to enjoy and help on hand if needed. We're also able to quickly mobilise support, new services, like supermarket deliveries that can be ordered by telephone, and entertainment, so homeowners never have to feel alone if isolating or unwell.

Infection Control Initiatives in place
safe-tick Infection Control Training Our staff are trained to use measures which prevent and control infections.
safe-tick Sterilisation & Disinfection Devices We are using sterilisation and/or disinfection devices within our care setting.
safe-tick Virus Testing We are testing for viral infection when symptoms present within our care setting.
Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) - Regulator’s Assessment
In response to the coronavirus pandemic, regulators have assessed the preparedness of care providers in relation to infection prevention and control. Details of the regulator’s latest findings can be found below.
Regulator: Not required
safe-tick Testing The provider assured the regulator that it was accessing testing for people using the service and staff.
safe-tick Use of PPE The provider assured the regulator that it was using personal protective equipment effectively and safely.
View the provider’s latest Inspection Reports.

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.
