What do you do to stop people bringing the virus into the care home?

We have a whole host of measures in place to manage the risk of someone bringing the virus into our home. Our team members remain dedicated to do all they can to keep our residents safe, completing a lateral flow test at home and registering the result prior to every shift. Residents also complete a monthly PCR test where a swab is taken and sent off to a lab to be tested. Visitors to our home, such as health professionals must also complete a lateral flow test prior to arrival and everyone working or visiting must wear appropriate PPE at all times, without exception. To put it simply, we don’t take any chances and if someone has Covid-19 symptoms then they don’t come into the home.
