Corona Virus Update – Wednesday 08 April 20

Beritaz Care is committed to ensuring that we keep all our residents, and staff as safe as possible.
As of today, the Home has no proven or suspected cases of coronavirus infection among residents or staff.
I am pleased to say we are able to provide safe and comfortable care for all our residents. We continue with the no visit arrangement unless essential. Thank you all for your understanding and support.
Many of you have been contacting your relatives using technology such as Skype, FaceTime, Whatsapp etc.
It would help us if you can pre arrange your times so we can have the correct equipment closer to your relative and assist them with the technology.
Also, we are grateful for the wishes and gifts some of you are leaving for us; these have included gloves, face masks etc. to offer of accommodation to our staff by local boarding schools to counseling support. We are also doing our bit to the society by allowing the local charities to use our mini bus for community purposes.
I am very pleased about our staff team who are showing extreme resilience, commitment and going the extra mile; a no fuss approach by most and taking the risks in a stride.
All our homes are working with their own teams without any reliance on casual or agency workers. I think this is the testimony of the leadership in each home and the value based recruitment and retention methods we have adopted over the past few years. We are supporting our team through various means according to local needs. For example, providing transport to some so they do not use public transport, thereby reducing the risk of infection to all, Some are living on the premises, assistance with their shopping.
We have comfortable levels of supplies; and sourced PPEs outside, in addition to the Government supply chain.
Thank you for your understanding during these difficult times and wish you all stay safe and well.
If you have any questions please contact us on 01428 604414 or call the Home.
Mr A Gnanakumar
Chief Executive
