Meet The Manager
Paulina Eagle is Manager at Crouched Friars Residential Home.
As Home Manager, I am responsible for the day to day running of the home and ensuring we are consistently delivering a high quality care service. I have worked in care for the last 10 years and am very passionate about Crouched Friars, it’s a lovely home and we provide high quality care.
Ideally located in the heart of Colchester, Essex, Crouched Friars is just a one-minute stroll from the town centre shops and amenities. Our sympathetically restored, part Grade II listed home supports a small community of 55 residents, and our priority is delivering care that maintains the dignity and individuality of each person. We provide both physical and mental stimulation for those with residential and dementia needs, including our own dementia care wing, Colne Lodge.

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 | ||
|---|---|---|

Crouched Friars is working within the government guidelines to help protect its staff and clients. |

| Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications |

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.
