Meet The Manager
Clemence Heriman is General Manager at Waterside Court Care Home.
As a Senior General Manager and Registered Nurse, I have been able to mentor, develop and share my skill set to enhance the lives of the people we look after, and those I work with at Barchester Healthcare across Oxfordshire,
I am passionate about the lives of our older generation and believe we learn from our residents every day. We encourage each of our residents to live life to the full and remain part of the local community.
At Waterside Court we encourage independent living, offering support and continued friendships and wellbeing. We pride ourselves on the dementia care we deliver proving that people really can live well with dementia.
We are a pivotal part of our local community hosting events and functions for all to enjoy. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you and your loved one.
Waterside Court Care Home is located in the serene historic market town and civil parish of Wallingford in South Oxfordshire, ideally situated for visiting Reading, Benson, Henley and Thame. Waterside Court offers residential care, dementia care and pre-bookable respite stays to older individuals.
Our luxurious facilities combined with highly trained staff ensures that each and every individual is given superior attention. Our 24-hour care is provided in a warm, welcoming environment, with delicious meals and daily activities, including a choice of therapeutic approaches.
The Memory Lane community provides specialised resources for those living with dementia, including adapted crockery and tableware, sensory gardens with low risk walkways and activity kitchens, which enable people to engage in life's everyday simple tasks and pleasures to help them feel like they're right at home.

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 delighted that the majority of our residents, patients and staff have now been vaccinated. And we'll do everything we can to ensure that all new residents, patients and staff are vaccinated, where medically able to to, or are willing o be vaccinated before moving in or working in our homes and hospitals. We also ensure that any new residents and patients coming into our homes and hospitals , whether from the local hospital or the community have been tested in advance and are negative for COVID-19. We continue to have a robust supply chain of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) in place, and our staff are using this in accordance with the Government guidance. All of our staff, irrespective of their role will be wearing protective face masks at all times to ensure the safety of our residents and team. We continue to implement our advanced cleaning practices, and have clear standards in the case of managing any confirmed or suspected cases. All staff practise good hand and respiratory hygiene to prevent the spread of germs, and surfaces that are often touched are cleaned and disinfected frequently. We're proud to be the only care provider to win the RoSPA Health and Safety Award in both 2019 and 2020. |

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.
