Visitors

Our Home actively encourages residents to maintain all forms of social contact. We will assist residents to maintain contact if requested.

Our Home is looked upon as a resident’s Home and hence, subject to the resident’s wishes visitors are, within reason, generally welcome at any time. Residents can usually receive visitors in their own room or in one of the lounges or, outside meal times, in one of the dining rooms.

Normal visiting is encouraged between: 10 am and: 8 pm.

All visitors are requested to enter their details in the ‘Visitors Book’ and to sign out on departure. Visitors should be made aware that this is to comply with Care Home Regulation 17 & Schedule 4 (17), Health & Safety legislation and Fire Regulations.

Visitors wishing to take residents off the premises should speak to a manager or the Senior Member of Staff on duty first to ensure that any medication can be provided and that the trip out is within the capacity of the resident. This needs noting in the Visitors Book on departure and return.

Relatives are encouraged to attend social events such as resident’s Christmas Party, Summer Fair, entertainment evenings, BBQ’s etc.
