Dear Families and Residents

Thank you for your patience during the recent lockdown.  Management has decided that HBH Senior Living will move to Level 1 as from Saturday, 20 March 2021, 10am.

A reminder what General Visiting (level 1) means at HBH.

Visitors

  • Relatives and friends may visit at any time with the following exceptions:

–          Please do not visit between 12 midday and 1:30pm and between 5.00pm and 5:30pm as these are mealtimes and after lunch nap time and residents have asked not to be disturbed during these times.

  • Visitors are encouraged to wear a mask during visits especially in the corridors and communal areas. Our staff will be masking for personal and direct cares but not when they are carrying out general duties.
  • Use the QR Code to sign in on your phone (for your records).

Sign in on the register (tablet or paper), this is for our records.

It is very important that visitors do this as these records will be used for contact tracing if there is an outbreak. 

  • Visitors must sanitise their hands when they arrive and depart.
  • All our entrances will be open during standard hours.
  • Do NOT visit if you are sick or if you have had a Covid test and are awaiting the results.
