Covid-19

Life has changed so much during this pandemic. For all of us at Sanctuary Care, one thing that remains the same is our devotion to protect the safety, and enhance the wellbeing of our residents, their loved ones and our staff.

Residents safety and wellbeing during the Covid-19 pandemic

From wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), to creating designated safe visiting spaces to keeping our residents and their families connected, we’ve adapted quickly in these changing times and will continue to do so. So, while we are welcoming new residents into our homes, the safety and wellbeing of all our residents is our number one priority.

Looking around our homes safely, with virtual tours

You can’t choose a home without seeing it for yourself, so our teams are providing ‘virtual tours’, so you can experience a virtual visit from the comfort of your chair. 

You can see the care home facilities as a senior member of staff walks you round using an iPad, answering any of your questions.

Safe care home admissions – we are welcoming new residents

We’ve welcomed many new residents into our care homes during this pandemic, who are safely settled and feeling very much at home. Many have joined us for respite care and felt so reassured they’ve decided to stay.

To enable us to do this we have a robust admissions process to keep everyone safe, with two options to choose from. For more information on our moving in process, please contact our Enquiry Support Team for full information.

Safe visiting care options

Keeping our residents connected with their loved ones is so important for their wellbeing, so we have a robust care home visiting strategy in place. This is continually monitored in line with the latest Government guidance.

All of our homes have different layouts, so with the strictest safety measures in place, visits are taking place in many ways. This includes in dedicated visiting rooms with screens, visiting pods with screens and closed window visits.
