Meet The Manager

Gail is a qualified RGN and has worked in oncology and palliative care before moving into care settings. She started at Meadowcroft in 2021 as a nurse before progressing her career to Home Manager.
She enjoys the challenges and diversity of the role, including supporting all the staff to offer individualised care to all the residents.
When she isn’t at work, Gail can either be found running along the Phoenix Trail, cheering on Chinnor Rugby or curled up with a coffee and a book.

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 | ||

Meadowcroft is working within the government guidelines to help protect its staff and clients. |

| 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.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
Activities: Whether it’s wet or dry outside, we at OSJCT feel that activities are essential in providing the best caring environment to live in. Hobbies don’t simply stop when living with us at Meadowcroft. We have a dedicated Activities Co-ordinator who works closely with our residents to create a programme of fulfilling activities and events, tailored around each resident’s requests, hobbies and interests. The programme of events and activities provide a source of fun and laughter, to help each resident live their life to the full and make new friendships. We are also fortunate to have the support of many volunteers of all ages from the local community, strengthening our links to this thriving market town. Here is a sample of activities on offer:
With so many well-being activities for body and mind on offer, we also recognise that everyone needs some personal space for relaxation and mindfulness for personal reflection. The cosy lounges offer an opportunity for some quiet time or to host family and friends. And that’s not all: We’ve had silent discos, hoe downs, Chinese banquets, Oscar parties and so much more. Many of the activities feature Reminiscence Therapy to aid those living with Dementia to remember events, people and places using sight, touch, taste, smell and sound. Events: As we are on the outskirts of a thriving town - within a vibrant community, there's never a dull moment. We run regular activities for all to join in:
