Visiting Care Homes during COVID-19

February 12, 2021

 

The impact on relatives and carers from long term separation and restricted visiting in care homes

Healthwatch East Sussex and Healthwatch Brighton and Hove invite you to our next webinar on Wednesday 24th February from 3 – 4.30 pm


National Guidance on visiting was updated on the 12th January 2021.

It talks about…

  • Visiting being a central part of care home life
  • How it’s vital for family and friends to maintain contact and life-long relationships with their loved ones
  • The importance for family members to contribute to their relatives support and care (often as essential carers); and
  • The important role visiting plays in maintaining health, wellbeing and quality of life for residents

But…

If you are a family carer and want to contribute to the discussions, exchange your views with other carers, or to simply hear from health and care professionals, make sure you book your place.

The programme for the day can be viewed here
