We are currently investing in additional bespoke Safe and Weatherproof Visiting Facilities in our home, however where we are able to safely facilitate visits, the following considerations and precautions will be taken into account;

• Alternatives to in-person visiting will be actively encouraged (use of telephones or video)
• Visitors will be limited to a single constant visitor per resident
• Wherever possible visits will be facilitated within areas external to the home, such as the garden or grounds with the required PPE and social distancing in place.  Where this is not possible we will seek to provide a designated area within the home to facilitate visits, again with the requirement of PPE and the observance of social distancing
• In-room visits will only be facilitated in relation to essential and compassionate (end of life) visits
• Visitors will be required to book their visit in advance, ad-hoc visits will not be allowed
• In line with track and trace guidance, the Care Home will maintain a record of all visitors to the premises, all visitors will be required to complete a screening questionnaire prior to visiting and should not attempt to visit if they are experiencing or have experienced Covid-19 related symptoms in the last 7 days or had contact with someone with confirmed COVID-19 in the last 14 days.
• All visitors will agree to have no contact with any resident other than the resident they are visiting and will have minimal contact with care home staff.  (Where conversation or discussion is required with staff this can be arranged over the phone following or prior to an in-person visit)
• Visitors will be reminded and provided with facilities to wash their hands for 20 seconds or use hand sanitiser on entering or leaving the home
• Visitors will be provided with PPE (Mask, apron and gloves) and be required to wear these for the duration of the visit
• Visitors are asked to refrain from bringing with them gifts or items of food or drink
