COVID-19

Due to the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had such a devastating and, at times, overwhelming impact on everyone’s lives, we’re delighted to be taking measures to restore some feeling of normalcy to life here at Hazelwell Care Home.

The health of each and every one of our residents, their families, and our staff is our first priority, and we will continue to do everything we can to keep everyone safe and well at Hazelwell Care Home. We are absolutely overjoyed to be able to welcome visitors and new residents to join our Hazelwell Care Home family.

Our COVID-19 Approach

In line with recent Government recommendations effective from 15th December 2022, care homes in England can make risk-based decisions as to whether face masks are required to be worn. Following a risk assessment, our care home has made the decision to remove the universal wearing of masks. It is a personal choice whether visitors still wish to wear a mask and people receiving care can ask staff to wear face masks; our staff will continue to work in whichever way makes our residents most comfortable.

We continue to no longer have restrictions as to the number of visits per resident though we ask that you make arrangements in advance of your visit to ensure safe visiting practices can be maintained. LFT testing is no longer required, though to protect the safety and wellbeing of our residents and teams, we will still be screening visitors via our screening record.

At any time, the decision to not wear face masks can be changed as determined by the Home Manager, company, local or national healthcare agencies. COVID-19 regulations and guidance from the Government, National, and Local Healthcare Agencies may also change. For further information, please click here or contact the Home Manager directly.

Preventative Actions at The Hazelwell Care Home

Our dedicated employees here at The Hazelwell Care Home have always gone above and beyond to keep our residents’ lives safe and fulfilled no matter what. However, since the outbreak of COVID-19, our teams have been nothing short of incredible. Additional safety measures have been implemented all throughout our home, and in every single one of our facilities to guarantee that our residents may continue living their lives as they have in the past with minimal disruption.

All of these steps we’ve introduced are intended to have the least amount of impact on residents and their everyday lives; by making a few little changes to our daily routines, we can reduce the danger of COVID-19 in our community tenfold. From remaining up to date with government standards to providing guidance to all of our residents and their loved ones, our teams here at The Hazelwell Care Home constantly prioritise the mental, emotional, and physical health needs of all of our residents.

Our Measures Include

Our compassionate, caring and absolutely incredible wellbeing coordinators have always gone above and beyond to ensure that residents and their loved ones are as safe as possible. This sentiment from our teams towards our residents has only increased as we’ve continued to fight against COVID-19. Here are just some of the measures we here at The Hazelwell Care Home have in place to ensure the safety of our residents.

Consistent Use of PPE

In accordance with government and local authority guidelines, risk-based assessments are in place to determine if PPE is to be used when providing care for residents or if residents prefer for this to be maintained.

Stay Connected

If in-person visits are not available or accessible to you, then we have a range of devices and technology that enable video and phone calls to ensure our residents can stay connected with the ones they love.

Maintaining Social Distancing

We have adopted a social distancing standard here at Hazelwell Care Home, which remains in compliance with government rules and guidelines which are constantly updated. Residents and staff are advised to maintain a space of at least one metre between them whenever they can.

A Safe Place to Live

We are incredibly confident in the fact that all of residents and their loved ones respect the COVID-19 procedures we have in place here at Hazelwell Care Home. We value our residents for keeping safe, and ensuring that they are preserved, respected, and never compromised at Hazelwell Care Home.

Continually Clean & Germ-Free

Sanitation stations and specialised designated areas have been built throughout Hazelwell Care Home. However, residents and guests are still continually advised to apply the antibacterial gel we have on offer on a frequent basis to ensure the safety of their friends, families and neighbours.

Putting Our Resident’s Health & Safety First

Despite the difficulties our wellbeing coordinators have faced over the course of the last 18 months or so, they have worked tirelessly to provide a variety of COVID-19 appropriate activities to keep our residents active and entertained, and we here at The Hazelwell Care Home truly couldn’t be more grateful.

Our first and top focus at The Hazelwell Care Home has always been the health, safety, and well-being of each and every one of our residents. In response to COVID-19, we’ve put in place a number of measures aimed at lowering infection rates while also managing to keep our residents as comfortable as possible.

Keeping Everyone in Touch

Our residents are more than welcome to use any number of our devices in order to video call their friends and family outside of The Hazelwell Care Home. Our all-inclusive facility is well equipped with WiFi and an abundance of ways to connect, and despite the challenges we’ve had to face as a result of COVID-19, we’re working together to address them each individually. We’ll keep working around the clock to ensure that everyone has a plethora of options for staying connected to the people closest to them, and the people who matter most.

Keeping our residents, their friends and their family members connected during these extraordinary times has never been more important, and we always want to face our challenges both calmly and head-on. We really do recognise the real importance of social connection, especially in a time of worry and uncertainty. The support that loved ones give to our residents make an enormous difference to their mental and physical well-being, so keeping residents and their friends and family connected during these extraordinary times has truly never been more important.
