The Whiddon Team

Dear Friends, Families and Representatives of Residents,

While Whiddon encourages family members to take out Residents, it is imperative that our staff is notified when doing so.

Please let a relevant staff member know when you are taking out a resident.  This is for security plus the health and safety of the resident.

It is also mandatory for friends and family to sign the visitors book on arrival to the facility.  Please also make sure to sign out the resident in the book.

Thank you for your co-operation.
The Whiddon Team
