Meet The Manager
Claire Picchi is Manager at Charnwood House.
Claire has been with MHA for 8 years and has a passion for dementia.
Charnwood House opened in 2004. MHA works alongside Coventry City Council and Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust in delivering these services.
Together they provide a range of skills that include occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy and psychology expertise, and a broad range of nursing and social work support.
Charnwood not only provides a specialist assessment and rehabilitation service for people with dementia outside the hospital environment but also reduces waiting lists and delayed discharges from hospital beds, facilitating discharge back to the community wherever possible and reducing the number of people with dementia living in permanent care.

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 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
All bedrooms are ensuite, staff are trained in infection control and sufficient PPE is provided to all staff and visitors if needed. |

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.

We encourage our residents to furnish their own rooms as they wish. This could be as simple as hanging a couple of their favourite pictures on the wall, but they’re also welcome to bring their own comfy chair, or anything that makes them feel at home. The most important thing is for everyone to feel comfortable, happy and settled. All our bedrooms have a full en suite wet room with toilet and sink. If your loved one enjoys catching up with the latest news, sport, chat shows or soaps, we can provide a TV in their room on request, and there’s WiFi throughout the home. |

Whether they flourish in a lively group activity or prefer to re-charge in the peaceful surroundings of one of our quiet spaces, our home is brimming with inspiration and potential. We support everybody’s individual choices, interests and hobbies and our passionate Activity Music Therapy: Funded entirely by charitable donations, these award-winning weekly sessions are led by our highly-trained therapists and can have an incredibly powerful and positive impact on a person’s wellbeing. At Charnwood House, our music therapists interact with residents through sing-alongs, playing simple percussion instruments and responding to musical cues in either a one-to-one or group setting. These sessions often prove to be truly life-enhancing, helping people to unlock special memories and express their feelings and emotions. |
