With a background in law and a Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care, Benjamin has held senior roles, including Locality Manager, overseeing multiple services across London.

Woodbury Manor was built in 1853 as a private residence for a prominent local merchant family, and was set in 13 acres of grounds on the south side of Clay Hill. In 1968, it became an “educational recovery unit” called Clay Hill House. Since 2010, the building has been restored to its Victorian appearance, with high ceilings, ornate cornicing, and an expansive garden, and its original, historic name has also been reclaimed.
Woodbury Manor now provides residential and dementia care for older people. It is situated on the border of Hertfordshire and Enfield, easily accessible from the M25 and A10, and two miles from Enfield town centre. It has four acres of mature gardens, with numerous fine specimens of Cedar, Fir and Oak trees.

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 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Woodbury Manor hold regular training sessions on health and safety issues such as infection control and hygiene, and conduct monthly health, safety and infection control audits, with maintenance checks carried out each week. Staff are all trained to identify and report any issues that they see as they go about their work, and the manager and deputy do daily walkarounds to check that the home is safe and clean. Residents are encouraged to maintain hand hygiene themselves, or staff are available to help and provide antibacterial wipes as needed. Posters and signs are displayed throughout the home, providing details about first aid, hygiene, fire safety protocols, and other health and safety measures. |

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 Building and Facilities |
|---|
|
Over time and with various ownerships, Woodbury Manor has undergone extensive renovations to become the specialised facility it is today. Now, beneath the grand Victorian façade and opulent interior decoration, Woodbury Manor houses a state-of-the-art care environment with smart monitoring and sensory rooms to improve resident well-being, while retaining the warm, hospitable feel of a manor house hotel. There are no ‘visiting hours’; residents’ guests and families are welcome at any time.
Upon entering through the striking original vestibule, you are greeted by a welcoming yet impressive foyer and reception. Communal spaces include the south-facing drawing room and sun lounge, flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, and offering panoramic views of the manicured gardens alongside plenty of visiting wildlife. Our gardens feature a wraparound terrace and level-access pathways, ensuring the "healing gardens" are an integrated part of daily living.
Upstairs on the first and second floors, accessible via lift and also the grand staircase, are the residential suites. Many retain original Victorian features while offering modern, wet-room-style en-suites. The medical suites are also situated here, providing 24/7 care capabilities without compromising the domestic, "home-from-home" feel. Wide, airy corridors provide easy access and feature recessed "nooks" that serve as secondary lounge areas for quiet reading or visiting with guests. |
