We have been informed that an employee at Whiddon Easton Park – SDM has tested positive to COVID-19. Please note that this staff member was in full PPE while working in the care home and was only in the administration area.
As a precaution, employees must wear full PPE, and we have also closed our care home at Whiddon Easton Park – SDM to visitors for now. We will allow visitors to visit a resident who is at the end of life or for essential care reasons. Families will need to speak to the Care Manager directly to gain the necessary approval to visit.
We are working closely with the local Public Health Unit and following their advice, and have activated our COVID-19 response plan to ensure all necessary precautionary measures are implemented. Our COVID-19 response plan is robust and ensures we prioritise the safety of residents and employees.
We are well practiced in COVID management now and appreciate your ongoing commitment to caring for our residents and each other.
