COVID-19
The team here at Springvale Care Home are thrilled to be able to welcome visitors and open our doors to new residents.
We fully understand the impact that Covid-19 has had on our staff, our residents and their loved ones, and we are delighted to be taking steps again to restore normality at Springvale Care Home.
Our top priority remains to be the health, safety and wellbeing of our residents, their families and our staff. It is our ongoing commitment to everyone in the Springvale Care Home community to do everything within our power to keep everyone safe and healthy.
Always Striving to Surpass Expectations
We have gone to great lengths to maintain the highest levels of safety, hygiene and respect for Government guidelines, all the while ensuring a warm and friendly environment. While preventative measures remain to be of utmost importance, it has always remained imperative that any measures implemented have a minimal, if any, effect on the outstanding around-the-clock care that we take pride in. All of the team at Springvale Care Home are completely dedicated to supporting our residents and loved ones through these unprecedented times, and we aim to be a continual source of reassurance for the families and friends of our residents.
In line with recent Government recommendations effective from 18th December, adult care homes will continue to support indoor visits. It is however, recommended that no more than two households meet with a resident at one time inside the care home. Frequency of visiting your loved one will be guided by the care home arrangements. Visitors, including children, should undertake a LFD test before every visit to the care home and be able to provide evidence of a negative result. All visitors must also wear a Fluid Restraint Surgical Mask (FRSM). In the event of a COVID-19 outbreak within the home, the home will continue to support residents to choose a named visitor who may visit the resident in their private room if the local Health Protection Team allows. All staff at the care home are recommended to take an LFD test daily.
At any time, the COVID-19 regulations and guidance from the Government, National and Local Healthcare Agencies may change. For further information, please click here or contact the Home Manager directly.
Preventative Measures
Since the outbreak of Covid-19, our outstanding staff have gone above and beyond. We have put in place a whole host of additional safety measures at our facilities to ensure our residents continue to live their lives as they always have, with minimal inconvenience. All new safety measures have been designed to have as little impact as possible on our residents and their everyday lives; by making just a few adjustments to our home and the way in which we operate, we can mitigate the risk of COVID-19 in our community.
The teams at Springvale Care Home are placing high priority on the mental, emotional, and physical health needs of all residents; from keeping up-to-date with government regulations to providing guidance to all residents and their loved ones. We also want to ensure that an active social life can continue to be enjoyed by our residents, whilst maintaining high standards of infection control, and our Activities Team are doing all they can to achieve this. By utilising Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), screen dividers and sanitisation rooms, our staff are able to continue providing the outstanding care that our residents deserve.
Our Measures Include:
