Covid-19 Vaccinations: our Health Service colleagues are now vaccinating residents and care home staff during visits to our two care homes. We understand that the current vaccines require a second dose before they are fully effective so the measures we have in place will continue to keep our residents safe.

WELCOMING NEW RESIDENTS

Oakland Court and Oakland Grange Care Homes are in a position to welcome new residents, whilst making sure our existing residents and staff remain safe.

We have put in place:

• A clear admission policy
• New residents isolated and tested for Covid-19 with results normally received in 48 hours
• Safe arrangements for contact with family and friends either using a meet and greet protocol or with devices via Facetime managed by our staff

• Socially distanced activities
• Excellent supplies of PPE for all staff and visitors
• Effective infection control measures and deep cleaning routines
• Regular testing for all staff and residents to help keep the Home free of infection
• Routine communication and advice from GP surgeries

Once again we would like to thank the community and our resident’s families for their vote of confidence and support through these unprecedented times. Finally, our applause goes to our staff who have been committed at all times to the care of the residents and each other.
