With the spread and effects of COVID-19, Liskeard Eventide Home Ltd has put into place all the safety measures recommended by the public health authorities for its residents and staff.
We are being very vigilant, and to continue to keep the residents safe from the spread of this highly contagious infectious disease we have implemented procedures to allow one person to visit their loved ones within their bedroom, and two or three people within the summer house. Larger groups can be accomodated within the patio areas (weather permitting).
Visits are on an appointment only basis, so to avoid disappointment, we request that you telephone (preferably 24 hours) in advance to book an appointment. This is to ensure that appointments are not double booked, that your loved one is ready and waiting for you at the set time, and that we can ensure you have a designated, private area. We therefore respectfully ask you not to visit unless you have a visit booked.
Care home residents are still amongst the most at risk (by virtue of their age and frailty) to being seriously, even possibly fatally ill if they are infected by the virus, as the numbers of confirmed cases and fatalities of other care home residents around the country have shown.
Liskeard Eventide Home Ltd is still providing suitable alternative means for keeping in contact with residents via telephone, messaging, social media, facetime, skype and zoom.
When visiting Liskeard Eventide Home Ltd we ask you to:
- Check if you might have had any contact with anyone who might have been in contact with an infected person or someone carrying the virus, and take a decision not to visit.
- Keep physical contact with your loved one to a minimum.
- Keep to designated areas of the grounds which we will inform you about.
- Carry out stringent hand hygiene practice by always washing your hands carefully before and after any contacts made.
- Help staff to carry out the procedures that have been put in place to keep everyone safe from the virus and its spread.
- Report and discuss with us any concerns you have about the health of the person whose welfare is your concern.
We are confident that with these precautions in place and visits monitored, we will be able to keep our residents safe.
