Visits from loved ones

The importance of visits from loved ones is crucial to our residents, this is something that is looked forward to by all family, friends and staff. It is important we continue to follow government guidelines to ensure the safety of everyone, and for visits to continue.

Here at St Bernard’s, we support visiting loved ones as much as possible! With essential care givers in place for all residents, it is vital in maintaining routines and connections, creating stable lives. In home visits will be available as well as Garden visit in the Spa, perfect on a sunny day! 

Continuing for the future, if it’s safe to do so, minibus trips will commence weekly, from window shopping round Garden Centres and picnics in the park.  We are delighted on how successful, our family forums have been, connecting with families all over the world to discuss any matters that maybe on your mind, we are happy to be able to continue to do so. Keep an eye out for emails on when our next one will commence. 

A negative rapid flow test continues to be necessary prior to indoor visiting. This could be a test completed prior to the visit or on arrival. If you choose to complete the test prior to the visit, you will need to email your negative test results to info@stbernardscare.co.uk prior your visit.

We will continue to support testing on site for any visitor who does not wish to test at home. Face masks, gloves and aprons must be worn in the home at all times.
