S.A.F.E stands for Safety Assurance For Everyone and is Autumna’s own initiative for providing the infection control information families need when searching online for elder care.
Care groups participating in and supporting the S.A.F.E initiative
During the COVID crisis, when the ability to physically visit care providers was severely restricted, searchable online information became paramount. And when the most frequently asked question on the Autumna advice line was, “How do I know if this care home is safe?” then we knew we had to be proactive about providing the answer.
So, we introduced the S.A.F.E badge. The S.A.F.E badge is displayed on a care provider’s profile, when they choose to provide the infection control information that families need to help them make their elder care decisions.
The S.A.F.E initiative is currently doing ‘exactly what it says on the tin’ – providing ‘Safety Assurance For Everyone.’
As more external parties become involved, and with the help of new artificial intelligence and assistive technologies, infection control procedures have the potential to be monitored on a real-time basis.
For some this might sound far-fetched, but progress is being made all the time.
Autumna’s aim is to keep an open mind to new ideas, to collaborate with other industry sectors, and to continue to provide proactive and ground-breaking strategies to give the public the information they need to make their elder care choices.
If you would like to know more about the S.A.F.E infection control initiative, or you are a care provider who wants to display the S.A.F.E badge or a supplier of infection control products and services who wants to engage with Autumna as we move forward, then please email Natalie Morris or call her on: 01892 33 53 30.
