Covid -19 testing has ceased for residents and visitors. Visitors no longer have to book visits, bring a Covid passport nor complete a Lateral Flow test prior to visiting. Residents will now only be tested if they are symptomatic.

We ask that you do not visit a home if you have any symptoms of Flu, Covid-19 or diarrhoea and vomiting or have had any of these symptoms in the 72 hours prior to visiting. Staff will continue to wear PPE including face masks, and we will ask all visitors to do the same. Our homes will continue to provide PPE and ask you to carry out hand hygiene upon entering. Regrettably positive Covid cases could mean that the home may have to close to most visitors for a period of time, so it is important that we continue to minimise any risks of infection transmission.
