How we coped with COVID

Our Routine

Our rigorous infection control regime includes:

  • Twice weekly staff testing
  • Screening all visitors
  • On-site hairdresser and chiropodist part of testing regime, to enable continued services

Additional Staff & Activities

We don’t employ casual staff, only our own trained employees. We recruited extra staff to increase our activities to 7 days a week to keep a high level of interaction and wellbeing, and to help provide safe visiting.

Covid-secure Visitor Facilities

We made special visiting arrangements to enable our residents to continue to enjoy contact with loved ones from outside the home.

Our purpose-built, Covid-secure visiting Cabin was accessed by the residential and apartments side of our home. It was heated and had a high-quality sound system/hearing loop and its own handwashing facilities. The cabin was set in beautiful gardens and could be accessed without coming into the home.

“…the room is familiar, warm, cosy and private for Mum and Dad. I could hear everything they said, even from Mum with her quiet voice.”
