Loved ones reunited at care homes as lockdown easing sees visitors allowed

CARE home residents are being reunited with loved ones at last. As part of Boris Johnson s roadmap out of lockdown, a single named visitor has been allowed to visit residents in their bedroom since March 8.  At White Lodge Care Home in Braydon families have enjoyed getting together and catching up face to face – albeit with social distancing and testing factored in.  Cynthia Huband, 85, relied on video calls to keep in touch with her loved ones for a year as Covid-19 kept people apart.  She said: “The staff here have been so wonderful supporting me to use video calls and creating the visiting suite so I could keep in touch with my family, but nothing beats seeing my daughter in the comfort of my bedroom. 

Care home staff and residents receive first dose of Oxford vaccine

The AstraZeneca jab was administered at Barchester’s White Lodge Care Home by Purton Surgery last week. Dr Vinod Chandran visited the home with the nursing team to deliver the vaccine to all the residents and the remaining staff who had not received theirs at Great Western Hospital this month.  General manager Ramona Gherendi said: “Last year was a year like no other and the vaccine feels like the light at the end of the tunnel.  “Our teams have been magnificent in how they have risen to every challenge during this pandemic. “We are proud to play our part in this next phase to ensure the most vulnerable are protected.”
