I am pleased to advise that the Nursing Centre continues to have NO positive tested patients and that there have been no further cases of COVID detected amongst our staff teams across the last 59 days.
I am pleased to advise that the Public Health Team at LB Hammersmith and Fulham have now consented to allow visitors to return to the Nursing Centre.
Those visits will be conducted in line with Central Government guidance – which has recently changed to allow 2 x named individuals to visit residents at the Nursing Centre.
Our current and revised visiting policy is available HERE for your information.
- Visiting will recommence from Monday April 12th 2021. Please refer to our visitor policy for details.
- All visitors will be required to undertake a COVID Lateral Flow Test on arrival.
To enable us to manage those test processes efficiently we will manage the system by means of pre booked test slots.
There will be 8 test slots available per hour between the hours of 10am and 6pm (64 test sessions per day) Monday – Sunday each week.
Please contact our reception team on 0208 222 7800 (option 2) to make a test booking.
- Each booking will be confirmed to you in writing (email) along with a copy of our visitor policy which contains all of the information that you will need to make your visit safe and enjoyable for all concerned.
- Once tested (and assuming a negative result) you will be able to proceed to visit your Relative/ Friend / Next of Kin. There is no length of stay applied to your visit although we ask that you avoid mealtimes to enable staff to ensure that meals are taken with dignity and as effectively as possible.
Please be reminded that the guidance only provides for two named individuals to become visitors. Please do not ask our staff to ‘swap’ names on a frequent basis, as this will not be permissible given the risk of COVID transmission which still persists within the wider community.
My team and I are very excited to welcome you all back to the Nursing Centre and we look forward to seeing you soon.
