CORONAVIRUS
Important Information

Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, it is important that we protect all our Residents and staff.

Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, it is important that we protect all our Residents and staff.

Typical symptoms of Coronavirus include a high temperature, a new, continuous cough and a loss or change to sense of smell or taste. These symptoms may progress more in people with weakened immune systems, older people and those with long-term serious health conditions.

With this in mind, we wanted to let you know the steps we are taking in order to minimise the chances of the virus spreading within our Home.

In addition to our high standards of infection control already in place, Canwick House has successfully launched an initiative called “Healthy and Happy”, bringing a new and continued focus on cleaning and sanitisation in direct response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Focusing our efforts on infection control is paramount and we have staff allocated to cleaning within the home including frequent sanitising of all surfaces as well as regular deep cleans. This is monitored with routine audits carried out by the management team.

Our Home provides environment to implement natural ventilation into daily life, with lots of large social areas to enjoy as well as spacious bedrooms with en-suite facilities to allow plenty of personal space for each Resident.

 

COVID Safe Pods

 

How fortunate were we at Canwick to secure funding to commission  the build and installation of our safe space. Our Covid safe pod allows for visiting from family and friends and our Residents in a totally safe  environment. This is bookable in advance as strict infection control measures are in place.

A floor to ceiling dividing screen with intercom in our brand new pod, overlooking the garden and the Home means you get privacy and time with your loved one, in our cosy space.

You will liaise with the home directly to book an appointment. Visitor code and policy will be made accessible for all to see and agree to.
