Since our last update to you, we have had a further two employees test positive to COVID-19. This is considered low risk to residents due to the personal protective equipment our employees have been using throughout the past few weeks. Pleasingly, residents are well and are not showing any symptoms of COVID-19.
We are waiting to hear from the local Public Health Unit about when we may be able to welcome back visitors to Whiddon Grafton. Any decision to isolate or de-isolate is made in close contact with them and we continue to follow their advice.
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 home.
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 is a difficult 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.
We thank you for your ongoing support and understanding.
