On 4 March the Department of Health and Social Care released new visiting guidance for care homes. The guidance includes positive plans to enable enhanced visits in care homes, as part of the Prime Minister’s ‘road map’ to ease lockdown restrictions.
Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation. We understand that It has been an extremely difficult time for our tenants and their families. We very much hope that the positive position with the vaccine roll-out and reducing cases will allow us to further increase freedoms over the coming months.
NorseCare continues to focus on the care and wellbeing of residents, tenants and staff.
Staff and residents at NorseCare homes and housing with care schemes have expressed their delight as the vaccination programme has started to gain pace.
Gemma Hutson, an Activities and Wellbeing Co-ordinator for NorseCare, has won a national title in the National Dementia Care Awards 2020.
Following the lockdown restrictions that Government has put in place for all areas of England from 05 November 2020 due to the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have updated our advice on safe visiting and tighter restrictions around social interactions, which will impact upon our care homes and in housing with care schemes.
