Grove Mount Residential Home Visitation Policy - Phase 3
As a response to COVID-19 Coronavirus community cases, Grove Mount Residential Home regularly reviews decisions towards visitations, taking into account updated information and relevant guidance from Manx Care. We are now in a position to move to the third phase of our return to our ‘new normal’ services within Grove Mount Residential Home.
At this time, it is still not safe to have visitors coming and going freely; therefore, we have Lateral Flow Test available if any visitors wish to do prior to visit to ensure the safety of the residents and staff. Face coverings must be worn at all times within Grove Mount Residential Home.
The following will be needed for the visit to take place:
We ask that visits be scheduled via telephone ahead of time
Lateral Flow Test kits are available to be done before the visitations if you wish
If Positive result – you will NOT be allowed to visit the Home
If Negative result – you will be allowed to visit ensuring the following are met
On arrival your visitor registration form will be collected which is available at the entrance as well as on our website. This form must be completed prior to each visit.
We ask that you allow us to do a temperature check. For the safety of residents and staff, temperatures must be below 37.8
Hand hygiene procedures must be followed, and you will be supplied with appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) which must be used at all times
Social distancing must be maintained at all times possible while visiting.
We appreciate that these times have been difficult for everyone and that many wish to visit freely with their loved ones; however, at this time there are still many risks in doing so. Please understand that for the safety of our residents, your loved ones, and our staff, we ask that you adhere to the listed above.
Grove Mount Residential Home will continually assess and review the situation and information from Public Health and Infection Control to make progress in easing restrictions as swiftly and safely as possible. We will continue to keep you updated on any changes as we make them.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at 812173.
Thank you for your continued understanding with changes as they occur.
