If anyone has ever had to place an…

If anyone has ever had to place an elderly relative into care, they will know that it is a very fraught process. As well as managing an extremely emotional situation, there has been no easy way to assess which is the right care home, and if the right care home is identified, finding out if they have space for your loved one has been an archaic process.

Autumna, headed up by the excellent Debbie Harris (who has years of experience in advising families which care home would be right for their relative) fills this gap. They provide recommendations based on where they know the most appropriate care would be provided, and importantly do not take any referral fees for these recommendations. Quite simply, because they care so much about what they do, they find the right care home, as easily as possible, and with no other incentive than wanting complete client satisfaction.

I could not recommend them highly enough, and would not turn anywhere else the next time I need to make a fundamental decision on where my relatives would be most happy.

Thanks Deborah, our independence from care providers is fundamental to our beliefs. We have never taken a referral fee from any provider or organisations whose services we recommend to our clients. We recommend a service because it is in the best interests of our client.

I have known Debbie Harris for over 5 years and very much trust Autumna. They are experts in their field and they would be the first people I would contact and have confidence that they will find the right care provision.

One of the key services they provide is that they save families money as they negotiate the care fees for you.

In summary highly recommended.

We are able to negotiate a reduction in care fees in approximately 50% of our searches Rob. The fee reduction directly benefits the client, we don't take any referral fees. We are particularly proud of a price reduction recently negotiated for a nursing home that equated to £400 reduction per week for the client. They were thrilled and the care home has been brilliant for their mum.

I have known Debbie personally for several years and am amazed at her in depth knowledge of the Care Industry - they have so much information that they even offer a free advice line so that you can call and discuss any worries with the team over the phone for no charge - receiving valuable information for self funding families in their decisions over care.
Because Autumna don't take ANY referral fees you can trust that the information they provide is independent and is the right care provision for your loved one.

Autumna so knowledgeable about care

I have known Debbie personally for the last two and a half years, and she has always provided up to date and accurate information and advice on everything to do with care.

I know that Autumna do not take referral fees from any care homes, so you can be confident that her advice is impartial, and you can trust any referral made to a specific care provider.

Debbie and her team can even save you money by negotiating a reduction in the care fees for your chosen care provision.

So if you need to help and advice regarding your own care or that of a family member my advice is call Autumna, the advice line is free!

Excellent, impartial advice for anyone looking for care homes.

i have known Debbie in a professional capacity for 3.5 years and have no hesitation in recommending her and her team to anyone who is in need of advice about care homes or need to find a care home. In fact I have given her details to many of my clients who have elderly parents or relatives and are in need of some helpful and friendly advice. Debbie is extremely knowledgeable and most importantly kind and patient.

Thanks Tracey, we have lots of professionals who do not feel comfortable suggesting care options to their clients and recommend our services. I am delighted that you too feel confident that we will provide the best service to your clients.

For self funding families

For self funding families, look no further than Autumna. Debbie Harris, the founder and owner, and her team offer a selfless service, spending hours on the phone advising distressed families who call, when lost trying to find a suitable care home for their much loved elderly family member. Integrity and client satisfaction are the only driving factors behind the quality of service such families receive, not agency fees. If you want to find the best care home for mum, dad or any elderly member in your family, and don’t know whom to trust for advice, then I would look no further than Autumna and Debbie Harris.

Long term care

'I introduced a friend of mine to Autumna & he advised me that they dealt with the placement of his mother's long-term care needs in a sensitive, appropriate & very professional manner. He was very pleased with the service & advice given.'
