COVID-19 Update: 26 Aug 2020
We are moving to Level 2 (Restricted visiting) on Monday 31st
Here is how restricted visiting will work once we are able to do this – please read as this is different from the last time we were at Level 2
- You will need to BOOK a time to visit (see below for how to do this)
- 2 visits per week to be forward booked to ensure everyone can have a turn.
- If you want to visit more often you can phone to see if there is a vacant spot on the day and if so, you can visit.
- Visits limited to 30 minutes maximum.
- Please be on time for your visit (there will be set start and finish times). If you are late you cannot get extra time.
- Only 2 people at a time per resident.
- No one under 16 years of age.
- You must wear a mask at all times, including when in the resident’s room. Please bring your own mask and ensure it is clean on when you enter HBH.
- Go straight to the residents room and remain there for duration of visit.
- Maintain a 2-metre distance.
- No kissing or hugging.
- You must sign in using either the Covid Tracer App or if not, via our ipad.
- Your temperature will be taken, and a health screening question asked before you can enter.
- Stay home if unwell.
For family members who live out of town – please contact us BEFORE you plan to visit to make suitable arrangements.
Residents who are in the last few days of life: staff will contact family about visiting in these circumstances.
