Meet The Manager
Anne Hillary is Home Manager at Swan House Care Home.
About Us
What makes the resident experience at Swan House so special? We believe it’s our real sense of ‘family’ that has kindness, friendliness and respect right at its heart.
Our team provides residential care for those wanting help with everyday activities like washing and dressing, nursing care for people with more complex needs, intermediate care as an alternative to a hospital bed and respite stays to give home carers a well-earned break. We also welcome adults and young people with neurological disabilities. In every case we’re here to provide all the care each person’s own family could wish for.
Swan House is close to local shops and other amenities including public transport. All areas of our home are fresh and cheerful with a choice of lively or quiet communal spaces where residents can relax with each other or sit with family and friends.

Infection Control (S.A.F.E.)
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.

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
| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
Another way we can help our residents to feel at home is for them to do familiar things. So our dedicated Activities Leaders gently encourage residents to carry on doing things they enjoy. If someone had a hobby or pastime they did before they arrived, we’ll encourage them to continue it with us. Or perhaps they may like to learn something new. The important thing is that we treat every resident as an individual. If they enjoy sharing time with others, either in our home or on an organised trip out, they’re most welcome. Or, if they prefer quiet time alone, we’ll respect that too. At Swan House we run a busy activities programme so our residents are never without something to do, including visits from entertainers, exercise classes, and one-to-one activities. With Chatteris town centre a short walk away, it makes for a great day out for residents and their loved ones to spend quality time together. |
