New admissions process
We have reopened our home to new admissions to accommodate elderly people in hospitals or the community who need care home places and help ease the pressure on the NHS.
We must follow a rigorous admissions process that minimises the risk of COVID-19 infection to everyone, including existing residents and staff.
This involves undertaking pre-admission assessments remotely, supplying relevant documentation beforehand and administering a painless finger-prick test on your arrival. This must be negative before we admit you to our Isolation Suite, where you will be looked after for 10 days, prior to a further test that must be negative before we transfer you to the home’s main units.
We are confident that these protective measures will help ensure everyone’s safety. We are currently reviewing our arrangements for visitors.
