Thread by @rightsforresid2

Long thread. Today we are looking at the websites/visiting policies of those care providers who are on the board of @CareEngland - we mentioned this when we met with @ProfMartinGreen a couple of months ago. Very little appears to have changed. #rightsforresidents

We know there was an interesting discussion on #Essentialcaregiver last Friday hosted by @CPA_SocialCare attended by many including @NCFCareForum @CQCProf will it actually make any difference - @GillianKeegan good morning and welcome DMs open #rightsforresidents

We shall start with @Wellburncare no mention of #Essentialcaregiver and promoting pod/screened visits - 18 months on, Why? #rightsforresidents
wellburncare.co.uk/staying-safe

Next we move to @HallmarkCare - again divided room and appointments mentioned, no #essentialcaregiver - again Why? #rightsforresidents
hallmarkcarehomes.co.uk/you-are-in-saf…

On to @HC_One their visiting policy, whilst still mentioning screened rooms (in some places) is much more encouraging. Does have #essentialcaregiver - says it is for care not companionship but definitely better than others! Thank you #rightsforresidents
hc-one.co.uk/Kind-Care/Visi…

Oh @Barchester_care soft furnishings, lampshades and intercom systems get a mention but no #essentialcaregiver... no surprise really #rightsforresidents
barchester.com/designated-vis…

Next up @yourMHA who know have had an #essentialcaregiver program in place for a while - but look at all those restrictions - are they in the government guidance as well? there are no restrictions for ECG - love and companionship #rightsforresidents

Up next @AthenaCareHomes lots on ppe, training, cleaning and booking systems to control the number of people going in - nothing about #essentialcaregiver - again #rightsforresidents
athenacarehomes.co.uk/covid-19/

Now we have @careuk - good in parts. Does have a section on and acknowledges #essentialcaregiver but comes with lots of negatives as well ...better than some though. Thank you #rightsforresdents
careuk.com/our-approach-t…

Really hard to find any visiting policy for @SunriseSrLiving so looked at one of the homes - no #essentialcaregiver but says they are following guidance - are they? we don't know could not find it #rightsforresidents
sunrise-care.co.uk/care-homes/ban…

Despite being a massive company @BupaUK have not updated their website from the guidance before last, still mentioned five name visitors and only exceptional circumstances for #essentialcaregiver - really bad to be honest #rightsforresidents
bupa.co.uk/coronavirus/ca…

Now @PrioryGroup not a care home as the above but still should be following guidance accordingly - no #essentialcaregiver mentioned but does talk of individual basis #rightsforreisdents

Ahhh @CaringHomes up there with some of the worst for their visiting policy, very restrictive, no #essentialcaregiver mentioned, nothing is robust enough for them! #rightsforresidents
caringhomes.org/latest-visitor…

So onto #VoyageCare - they have a clear visiting policy, it does mention #essentialcaregiver and companionship, thank you #rightsforresidents
voyagecare.com/visiting-arran…

#AnavoCareGroup come in next, again much mention of restrictions, what you are and are not allowed to do but no mention of #essentialcaregver ...Why? #rightsforresidents
anavogroup.com/news/covid-19-…

Next up @SanctuaryCareUK updated in July - says no restrictions, followed swiftly by make an appointment but does have a link to the government website on #essentialcaregiver so hopefully this is being done, thank you #rightsforresidents
sanctuary-care.co.uk/news/2021/07/u…

We reserve the right to change, cancel or suspend visiting at short notice - @FourSeasonsHCUK before they get onto what you can and cannot do - no mention of #essentialcaregiver either.... Why? #rightsforresidents

#ElizabethFinnHomes - very vague, no proper visiting policy available on line #rightsforresidents
efhl.co.uk/about-us/coron…

We know at the meeting @mmcgjobs spoke about their journey and we are grateful that they have spoken to us as well over the last six months - in their September update #essentialcaregiver is mentioned - thank you #rightsforresidents

There are many more care groups that we have not looked at, these are just the board members of @CareEngland. When we are told by the powers that be that all is ok, it can't be if the guidance is not properly acknowledged on websites @GillianKeegan #Gloriaslaw #rightsforesidents
