Keeping residents safe during COVID-19

For older people the Coronavirus pandemic has been an extremely challenging time. Whether in a care home or living independently, the restrictions on visitors and the rules around social distancing and PPE create anxiety, frustration and fear.

Protecting our residents to keep them safe, happy and fulfilled is our first priority. We have plans and procedures ready to implement if necessary and we constantly review and adapt the measures we have in place to ensure best practice.

We regularly review the Fairfield COVID-19 risk assessment and protocol which encapsulates the latest Government guidance and legislation.

Moving into Fairfield

We are aware that there are lots of people living independently in the community who have delayed moving into a care home during the COVID-19 pandemic. They may now be struggling with poor health and diet, decreased mobility and memory loss, increased isolation and loneliness.

A temporary respite stay or permanent residential care might be the change they need. Although nowhere is completely safe from Coronavirus, we are confident that Fairfield remains the best place for elderly people who need care.

We are offering personal tours of the home to enable you to see the facilities and to meet some of the staff and residents.  Click here to book a tour or contact us on 01865 558413 or email [email protected]
