Infection Control Steps
We have a family whats app group which we use to communicate with families as a whole . However, as always, we are available to speak to families both on the phone and in person at any time should they have concerns or queries.
COVID-19 and Visiting
Visiting remains essential for residents who, like us all, have the right to maintain meaninful connections with their loved ones. Therefore, we endeavour to accommodate visiting but must ensure that such is conducted in the safest way possible.
In 2023 Nursing Homes have endeavored to return to a normal visiting routine well still trying to maintain an element of safety for our residents
As an extra line of precaution when visiting your loved one you could take an antigen test before attending. We can also make these available on your arrival if you prefer.
Occasional visitors ( people whom visit infrequently ) could complete one before visiting and Regular visitors( those that visit daily/weekly) could complete one more often However, irrespecitive of whether evidence of an antigen test having been conducted is presented, visitors are still asked to co-operate with all other requirements in our visiting policy. You may be asked at times of high infection either within the Home or externally to wear a mask during your visit. This is always done for both your family member and your protection
Ensuring the staff know here if you have any symptoms or may be a close contact in addition to the other elements of our visiting policy and continued compliance with general public health advice issued by the HSE and HPSC will assist us in ensuring both the social needs and safety of our residents are meet at all times
Thank you for your continued understanding and co-operation.
