CORONAVIRUS POLICY

At Mount Vernon Terrace, the health and safety of our residents, staff, and visitors is our top priority. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we are taking all necessary measures to protect our community.

This policy outlines the steps we are taking to prevent the spread of the virus and ensure the safety of everyone who enters our care home.

Preventative Measures:

  1. Screening: All staff, residents, and visitors will be screened for symptoms of COVID-19 before entering the building. This includes a temperature check and a review of any recent travel history.

  2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): All staff members will wear appropriate PPE, including masks and gloves, when interacting with residents or performing tasks that may involve close contact.

  3. Social Distancing: We are following guidelines from health authorities regarding social distancing measures. This includes limiting the number of visitors, staggering meal times, and providing additional space for residents to maintain a safe distance from each other.

  4. Enhanced Cleaning: We are taking additional precautions to clean and sanitize all common areas and surfaces regularly.

  1. Isolation and Testing: If a resident or staff member develops symptoms of COVID-19, they will be immediately isolated and tested for the virus. We will follow all guidance from health authorities to ensure the safety of everyone in our care home.

  2. Visitor Policy: Visitors are allowed, but we ask that they limit their visits and follow all of the preventative measures outlined in this policy. If a visitor is feeling unwell or has been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, we ask that they postpone their visit.

  3. Communication: We will keep residents, staff, and families informed of any updates or changes to our COVID-19 policies through regular communications and updates on our website.

We understand that these measures may impact the daily routines and activities of our residents and staff, but we believe they are necessary to ensure the safety of everyone in our care home.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@mountvernoncare.co.uk.

Stay safe and healthy.
