Reduced visiting hours
In order to protect staff, residents and their families, we made the decision to stop all face to face visitations. Whilst this this has been difficult and a change to our usual open-door policy, this was the only way that we could both remain compliant with government regulation and ensure the wellbeing of everyone.
However, we still actively encourage regular communication, whether that is via a daily phone or Skype call (or a chat through the window) so our residents can stay connected with loved ones even during this difficult time. We are taking the time to keep families informed, so they are aware of any updates in either our procedures or the welfare of their loved one.
Keeping both minds and bodies active
During lockdown more than ever it’s important to ensure that residents (and staff!) keeps their minds and bodies active. As always, we are arranging daily fun activities for residents to partake in, ranging from sing and dance-alongs to arts and crafts. Our patio has also been enjoying a lot of use thanks to the lovely weather we’ve been having! Check out our Facebook page to see what we’ve been up to during lockdown.
