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 confident that our care homes are now some of the very safest places to live and work.

All of our staff have been trained in additional and heightened cleansing protocols and hygiene regimes, and these are being supported by a leading sanitisation system as part of our comprehensive infection controls. Testing regimes will continue for staff, residents and visitors.

We have re-aligned the resident in-house services to meet social distance guidance from the Government, for areas such as lounges and dining rooms, and for visiting entertainers and hair dressers; we are working hard to restore these services within the ‘new normal’ circumstances as soon as we can, when lockdown rules allow.

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.
Safe Visiting Space
safe-tick We have a safe visiting space

Avery Healthcare has invested in outdoor garden ‘visitor pods’

The pods, are a garden room specifically designed to facilitate safe face-to-face contact with relatives and visitors. Each pod contains a floor to ceiling partition screen and a hands-free intercom so that communication is clear and safe for use. They are fitted with internal electrics and two, low-surface temperature electric panel heaters – suitable for these winter months.

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 lounges are sociable places where our residential care home really comes to life. Residents can take part in organised activities, play a board game, enjoy an aperitif, or simply chat over a cup of coffee and a slice of the chef’s freshly baked cake. At the same time there are quiet rooms where residents can enjoy the calmer atmosphere with a book or newspaper.

Activities Are So Important

At Acacia Mews Care Home we know how important an active lifestyle is for the well-being of our residents, both physically and mentally. We have a dedicated team of Activity Coordinators devoted to planning a lively activities schedule, which could be something they’ve never done before, such as:

  • Making origami swans
  • Getting messy with clay
  • Playing roulette – don’t worry, it’s only plastic money!
  • Planting out beetroot
  • Hatching out chicks — we’re not hens, we have an incubator!

We really love our enclosed courtyard. It’s a charming spot to take a break in the fresh air with a cup of tea and a book, or to get those green fingers dirty by working in the raised beds.

We are well connected to the local Hatfield and St Albans communities; groups, schools and societies are often invited to visit and there are regular trips out to local sites of heritage interest, as well as shopping trips to nearby Hatfield town centre and visits to cafés, churches in St Albans, garden centres and pubs for lunch.
