Update to Whiddon Kelso families

24 March 2022

Further to our update earlier this morning, the local Public Health Unit has advised that visits to the dementia specific area (Grevillea) are limited to essential caring or on compassionate grounds only for now. Visits to other parts of the care home are permitted at this time.

If you do visit, please expect some delays due to the increased screening requirements that are in place at this time. We also ask that you stay vigilant and practice social distancing, good hand hygiene and do not meet in any commons areas. Please do not visit if you are feeling unwell, or are awaiting a COVID-19 test result. You will be required to undertake a rapid antigen test as a condition of entry, and to wear an N95 mask and a face shield when visiting.

We are continuing to work closely with the local Public Health Unit and follow their advice.

We thank you for your cooperation and support.
