COVID-19 Precautions at Silver Birch Care
We have introduced the following to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, and to safeguard the welfare of our staff and young people in all our homes.
LFD and PCR Testing
All homes are provided with free lateral flow devices (LFD) and PCR testing kits. We recommend that staff and residents conduct regular tests.
Antibacterial Dispensers
Antibacterial hand gel dispensers have been set up by the entrance of all our homes.
Providing Products
We distribute potentially ‘hard to source products’ across all our homes including face masks, toilet roll, antibacterial wipes, antibacterial hand gel, female sanitary products, bleach, long life milk, pasta, rice, flour, tinned foods, and pre-packaged meat.
Monitoring Health
All homes are provided with non-contact infrared digital thermometers to check the temperature of staff and young people on a daily basis.
Providing Information
We supply all our colleagues and young people with up to date announcements from the NHS, HM Government, and local authority sources.
