COVID-19 Information

Through routine testing and enhanced infection control measures, we’re able to welcome new residents, provide safe visits, where guidelines allow us to, and protect those who already live with us.

How We're Keeping Norwood Residents Safe

Cleaning Regime – There is regular daily cleaning of touchpoints and all areas.

PPE – Staff received training in PPE from the Infection Prevention Team and have been constantly trained in Infection Control and the safe use of PPE. We are following PPE guidelines. These are updated daily regarding testing, retesting and infection control procedures. We keep a generous stock of reserve PPE in case of an outbreak.

Staff – There is a stable staffing team in place. Staff have their temperature taken once a day and wear a mask at all times. Hand washing is monitored and checked regularly.

Testing – As per the guidelines, staff are tested weekly and residents monthly unless anyone presents with symptoms.

Social Distancing – Social distancing is maintained at all times where possible.

Essential Visitors – Anyone who must come into the home is required to complete a questionnaire and have their temperature taken.

We look forward to hearing from you!
