COVID-19 Update
We have implemented a number of policies and guidelines into our Care Homes & Villages, to promote resident and staff safety throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We are committed to providing you with frequent updates and informing you of these changes over this time. We hope that this will alleviate some stress from you, but we continue to encourage you to contact us at any time if you have any worries or concerns.
Visiting status
At Alert Level 1 we will still require you to sign in and provide your contact details, or use the COVID-19 app on your phone, and sanitise your hands before visiting. For the most part, we will no longer be taking temperatures. However, we want to emphasise how important it is that you must not visit your loved one if you are feeling unwell or have recently been unwell.
As always, we will continue to ensure our Care Homes maintain excellent hygiene practices and we urge you to remain vigilant also.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your Care Home Manager.

Staying connected
We encourage you to keep in contact with your loved one. Whether this is a phone call, a text, a letter or through a video call.
Video communication
Communication tablets are available for virtual GP consultations, and when idle these are available to be used for zoom and skype video contact with families.
E-cards & Emails
Electronic cards and emails are a great alternative to hand written letters. We are happy to print these out and share with your loved one.
Cellphone communication
If possible, we encourage you to drop a communication device off to the Care Home, for your loved one. This will enable yourself or your loved one to contact each other whenever you please.
