The top 30 celebrated their year in social care last night with @CareTalkMag and @CareEngland. We hope all had a great night - @GillianKeegan the following thread may show you where #guidanceisnotworking #rightsforresidents
A brief monthly summary of the website review of the board members of @CareEngland companies and whether they are promoting #essentialcaregiver @CareQualityComm @KateTerroni was up for an award so hope you will read this and follow up asking why some are not #rfr
@Wellburncare hmmm no change from months ago - no ECG, promotes pods and 5 named visitors - that changed in JULY! #rightsforresidents wellburncare.co.uk/staying-safe
Curious @HallmarkCare seems to promote ECG in Wales but not England - yet both have this in the guidance - very mixed messaging - not great #rightsforresidents
hallmarkcarehomes.co.uk/you-are-in-saf…
One of the better websites we have seen to be honest @HC_One appears to be doing everything really well - thank you! #rightsforresidents
hc-one.co.uk/Kind-Care/Visi…
oh dear - one of the bad boys of visiting up next @Barchester_care no mention of #essentialcaregiver, in fact says they could close if public health tell them - at short notice #rightsforresidents

barchester.com/help-and-advic…
Mixed messaged from @yourMHA whilst one of the first to do #essentialcaregiver you have to jump thro hoops to get there - it is for companionship in the guidance ...nothing more #rightsforresidents

mha.org.uk/files/2615/970…
oh dear @AthenaCareHomes book a slot to see your loved one - but we don't have many so book early - really? #rightsforresidents
athenacarehomes.co.uk/covid-19/
Good to see @careuk are offering #essentialcaregiver and that they also say that during an outbreak ECG can still go in - thank you #rightsforresidents
careuk.com/our-approach-t…
Investing in our homes for the future with clear screens 😳 really - and special visitor status if deemed needed - EVERYONE is entitled to an #essentialcaregiver - not questions, no restrictions @SunriseSrUK need to relook #rightsforresidents sunrise-care.co.uk/latest-updates…
Very difficult to find on the website, @BupaUK give our mixed messages as well - mention ECG but not what and why and do not encourage - page updated in September so better than some #rightsforresidents
bupa.co.uk/coronavirus/ca…
Not been a great week for @PrioryGroup so not surprisingly their website is not very up to date! #rightsforresidents
priorygroup.com/coronavirus
Up there with Barchester @CaringHomes fail completely too mention #Essentialcaregiver in any way and in fact continuously say the guidance is not robust enough.... #rightsforresidents
caringhomes.org/latest-visitor…
hmm #AnavoCareGroup - or is it AnavoCapital - no mention of ECG - very negative - once you find the information which is hard but here it is #rightsforresidents
anavogroup.com/news/covid-19-…
Mixed from @SanctuaryCareUK the website is updated, they do signpost to the government guidance for #essentialcaregiver - thank you, but seem to have time restrictions...not sure they are in the guidance, but better than some!! #rightsforresidents
sanctuary-care.co.uk/news/2021/09/u…
Another website not updated since July and no mention of #essentialcaregiver @FourSeasonsHCUK time for an update? #rightsforresidents
fshc.co.uk/media/23724/fs…
And finally #ElizabethFinnCareHomes - look very nice, website suitably vague about everything, do sign post to government guidance but does not say much about visiting #rightsforresidents

Today we are going to look at some of the current guidance that every care home resident/family/friend has to go follow (if they are lucky) - does any other part of society have 20 pages of who and how you can see your loved one? Time to revisit @GillianKeegan @sajidjavid #rfr
You might be allowed to hold hands but it come with risks.... they would rather you didn't, but if you do, keep it brief @MattHancock this was in place when you were in charge as well #rightsforresidents
At the end of the day it is all just guidance, it does not have to be followed, this is what we have found and care home providers/managers have the final say - many do - many really don't #rightsforresidents

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

In May we carried out a survey (from 10th -21st) to give an overall idea of what is happening. Thank you to 1,177 people who completed it. Today more changes come - we very much hope that some of the results below rapidly change as well - Thread to follow: #rightsforresidents
The first question: where is your relative/friend in a care home - We got replies from across the UK (88.7% England, 6.2% Scotland, 3.4% Wales and 1.6% NI) #rightsforresidents
The results of this next question shows a reflection of the care home 'market' and how a large % is run but Care Groups of all sizes #rightsforresidents

It has been 465 days (12th March 2020) since many Care homes locked their doors - that is 66 weeks or 11,160 hours during that time so much has happened, so many lost, and still so many denied the basic human right to family life #rightsforresidents
There have been 425 publications/guidance issued by the government for all care settings (including care at home/assisted living/chc) of those 188 relate directly to Care Homes and 19 to 'guidance' on visiting #rightsforresidents
According to @ONS between 20/3/2020 and 02/04/2021 (figures released 11/05/2021) 173,974 people have died in care homes in England and Wales. The vast majority of these, our loved ones, with minimal family contact, sometimes none #rightsforresidents

8th March this year saw a long awaited changed in guidance for all - but esp for those in Care Homes, the big change- #Essentialcaregiver was mentioned and one named visitor allowed indoors and to hold hands (everyone else could meet in groups of 6 outside) #rfr
Screens/pods still mentioned for outdoor visits for more than one person, but this time more homes did open up. There was testing, PPE, time restrictions and supervision - some things mentioned in the guidance, others not but made up by local authorities or care groups. #rfr
Essential Care Giver did and still does seem to allude most people/care groups. We joined forces with @relresuk @NCFCareForum and @JohnCampaign to put in place some useful guidelines, sadly still needed& we need @CareQualityComm to enforce this relres.org/essential-care… #rfr

A week in which regulations relaxed and life started to get back to normal....

Unless you are in a care home

You can nominate 5 people to see (only two at a time) and if your care group provider allows this #rightsforresidents
We could go in a group of six inside a pub, shop, restaurant, cinema, museum - you cannot if you are in care home - you must stay outside and if you do go inside you have to isolate for 14 days - again this depends on if your care provider will let you go out #rightsforresidents
We can move home, always a traumatic&stressful experience. If you are in care home you can as well, but you have to isolate for 14 days. Imagine being dropped off somewhere strange&not being able to leave your small room for 14 days - many with dementia wander #rightsforresidents
