19 January 2022
Since our last update to you, pleasingly, no further employees have tested positive to COVID-19. We have not had any residents at Whiddon Grafton test positive to date, or who are currently experiencing any symptoms of the virus.
We continue to focus on keeping residents and employees safe, as this is our highest priority. As a precaution, and on the advice of the local public health unit, visitation remains restricted for now. Only visits for essential caring or on compassionate grounds will be permitted, and residents are strongly encouraged not to leave the care home for now, again as a precaution.
Our employees continue to complete a rapid antigen test before commencing their shift and our robust COVID-19 management plan means that we have strict protocols in place to avoid potential spread of the virus across our care homes.
If you would like to book a window visit in, or arrange a phone or video call with your loved one, please contact our team.
We understand that this remains a challenging time, but we want to reassure you that we are doing everything possible to keep our residents safe, well and connected with loves ones at this time.
