Arbour Care and Covid 19
Our number one priority is the safety and well-being of our clients and our employees.
We understand what a worrying and frightening time it has been, and we are doing everything we can to protect our clients and the wider community by ensuring that all Arbour Care employees are fully vaccinated.
Since the start of the pandemic, we have been working tirelessly with our teams to protect and support our clients, whilst also putting measures in place to ensure our teams own safety, health and wellbeing.
We are delighted that we have had no cases of transmission from our staff to our clients, which is a huge testament to the dedication and commitment of our teams to keep both themselves and the homes they work in safe, by respecting and adopting all guidance issued by Arbour Care and the UK Government.
Live-in care is the safest type of care for older people during the Covid-19 pandemic as we can guarantee effective shielding through one-to-one care, staff changes are minimal and footfall in the home can be controlled.
We hope that as we all learn to adapt to living with Covid-19 in our communities, our clients will rest easy knowing that they are as safe as possible in their own homes.
