Profile Strength Why do we have a profile score? We think it’s important you have detailed, comprehensive information so that you can decide which care providers to shortlist. We have therefore encouraged every provider to open their ‘online windows and doors’ to help you make an informed choice. The profile score is a measure of how much information has been provided. Every registered care provider in the UK can claim a free listing on Autumna. However, a paid subscription allows more information to be added and as a result a higher profile score.	Very Good 82%

Our Team
Christopher Shotter Maintenance I have been working in a Maintenance role for many years and joined Buxton Lodge on 2nd December 2002. Maintenance incorporates anything from repairing a broken bed rail to total refurbishment of a bedroom, gardening, electrical checks, Legionella checks and everything else to ensure the Home runs safely and smoothly for all concerned. I really enjoy my role at Buxton Lodge and also the many quiz nights/Summer BBQ’s that we organise for the Residents and their relatives. It’s really good to be involved with everything in Buxton Lodge which makes it feel like a home from home.

Linda Brown Home Administrator I have been working for Buxton Lodge since 4th January 2016, and I have to say it is an absolute pleasure to work for the Home. I love getting to know all our new and existing Residents, and bringing a smile to their faces! As Home Administrator you need to have many strings to your bow, answering phone calls, petty cash analysis, Payroll, ordering stationery, dressings and cleaning products, amongst other things! The hours at work fly by. I like to ensure that when you call us there is always a friendly voice on the other side of the phone and we are looking forward to when we are able to open our doors and greet you all face to face again Signe Heidmann Clinical Lead Nurse I am originally from Denmark but joined Buxton Lodge as the Lead Clinical Nurse on 31st January 2006. I am responsible to ensure the maintenance of Professional Nursing activity across the speciality of our Home and lead the nursing team in the delivery of safe practice within the Company policies and procedures. Over the many years I have worked here I have met some incredible characters in our Residents and you cannot help but to form professional relationships with all of them. The Nursing Team here provide care to Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Palliative Residents, all of which I find extremely rewarding.
