Meet The Manager
Tracey Hartley is Registered Home Manager at Longridge Hall.
I have a passion for care and have worked in the industry for over 20 years.
For the past 12 years I have worked at Longridge Hall Care Home, starting as deputy manager and progressing to become the home's Registered Manager four years ago.
Longridge Hall Care Home became part of the Sandstone Care Group in 2020. They are extremely supportive and have shown that they care and want the best for our residents and our home.
The best thing about working in the care sector? Knowing that I am able to make the lives of our residents as happy and comfortable as possible.
Longridge Hall and Lodge in Preston specialises in residential, dementia residential and short-term respite care.
Each of the home's 60 modern rooms is en-suite and equipped with the latest facilities and amenities.
The experienced and dedicated staff is on hand 24 hours a day, providing high-quality person-centred care to all residents, who in addition to receiving any support they may need can enjoy a wide range of facilities.
Facilities include several communal areas, enclosed gardens, an indoor garden/sensory room, an activities room and more.

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 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Sandstone Care Group are working closely with Public Health, Local Authorities, and the Care Quality Commission to implement all guidelines regarding the coronavirus pandemic. 1. STAYING UP TO DATE WITH POLICIES AND GUIDANCE We carefully follow guidance from Public Health England and Wales combined with the Care Quality Commission, Care Inspectorate Wales and the Local Authority for information. Residents and families are kept up to date through regular contact with our home managers. Our staff have all received the relevant specialist training on infection control. 2. INCREASED CLEANING AND DISINFECTION Our homes have increased the frequency of sanitation including high frequency touchpoints. Our housekeepers have received additional training and guidance and, along with their existing cleaning schedules, using commercial grade quality cleaning products, they will continue to keep our homes clean and safe. Staff arrive in their own clothes and change into a clean uniform on site. 3. HIGH QUALITY PPE We have a consistent supply of optional, high-quality PPE for both staff and visitors which is utilised and handled in line with Government guidance. This includes both how it should be worn, and how it should be removed and disposed of. 4. TESTING If staff and residents feel unwell, or are presenting symptoms of Covid-19, they are tested using a Lateral Flow test device.
All visitors and contractors must follow our infection control procedures. These include hand sanitation and using optional medical grade PPE that is issued upon entry. At visitors and contractors discretion, we accept proof of a negative Lateral Flow test device and can also provide a temperature reading if requested. |
