Good afternoon

Due to the increase in Corona virus confirmed cases in  Wales area, we feel it best to suspend all garden visits in our Barry Nursing Home until further review. We understand this news may feel frustrating but we feel this is currently the right decision to keep our residents and staff safe. This means any booked visits you have will be cancelled with effect from Monday 14th September 2020. We are happy to continue to support your loved ones to remain in contact with Skype and phone calls and we will continue to update you by phone, email and on our Facebook page on what our residents have been up to and also any changes in the guidance.           

We have worked hard with your fantastic support to keep Covid 19 out of our homes  and we intend to keep it that way. By suspending visits we will reduce the risk of infection , we do hope you understand our need to do this and that you will support this difficult decision. We plan to review this decision again very soon and will notify you of any further updates in relation to visiting arrangements.

We would like to assure you that we have no suspected cases within the home and this measure has been taken for prevention and to protect the vulnerable adults in our care. If there is an emergency a decision on entry will be made in exceptional circumstances and you are welcome to ring the home at any times to be provided with updates or to speak to residents on the phone. Additional measures have also been put in to place within the home. Our staff will do all they can to ensure that life in our Homes remain as comfortable and sociable as possible. We will still ensure that vital medical appointments will be kept where possible.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding during this time, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.

Best wishes

Bellavista Nursing Home
