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.
| What we're doing to keep residents & visitors safe | ||
|---|---|---|
1. STAYING UP TO DATE WITH POLICIES AND GUIDANCEWe 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 DISINFECTIONOur homes have increased the frequency of sanitation including high frequency touchpoints. 3. HIGH QUALITY PPEWe have a consistent supply of 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. REGULAR TESTINGOur staff are tested three times a week using a combination of PCR tests (processed in laboratories) and lateral flow device tests that give results in less than 30 minutes. All our residents have a temperature check twice daily and take a PCR test every 28 days, unless presenting symptoms. 5. ESSENTIAL CONTRACTORS AND VISITORS FOLLOW INFECTION CONTROL PROCEDURESAll essential visitors and contractors must follow our infection control procedures. These include a temperature check, hand sanitation, health questionnaire and a lateral flow device test. Full medical grade PPE is also issued upon entry. 6. INNOVATIVE WAYS OF HELPING FAMILIES TO STAY IN TOUCHWe understand the important role of staying in touch with family and friends over this difficult time. Each resident may name five individuals for contact visits under strict infection control measures, including a pre-test and PPE issued. All of our homes offer pod visits where they are face-to-face with a loved one. The pods are divided by a clear screen and have their own separate entrance and exit. 7. CONTINUED RESIDENT WELLBEING PROGRAMMESThe emotional wellbeing and health of residents is at the very heart of all our care homes. Our full-time activity coordinators have full and varied timetables to ensure our residents remain stimulated both physically and mentally. Our experienced carers monitor the health of each resident daily and, should medical attention be required, medical professionals continue to operate within the homes in accordance with our essential visitor policy. Regular ward rounds are conducted virtually with GPs. |

Susan WoodCare ManagerI worked in retail for many years, but due to the closure of TJ Hughes in 2011 I started working for a domiciliary company. I found the job very rewarding and thoroughly enjoyed my work. I wanted to work in a home and had heard such good reviews of St Helens Hall that I started working here in 2012 as a Senior Care Assistant on the residential unit. After two years I was promoted to Deputy Manager on the EMI unit and in May 2018 I was promoted to Care Manager. During my time working here I have found the home to be exceptional in all areas, and the care and support given to all residents and staff to be outstanding. The home feels welcoming and friendly. I find my work very rewarding. Knowing that I am supporting a people and making a difference to someone's life is an amazing feeling. |
