Our residents and staff at Sairam Villa were very pleased and surprised recently to receive letters and pictures from a local school.
Pupils at the St Jérôme Church of England Bilingual School, in Harrow, took the time to write letters to our residents, to help keep up morale throughout the community. They also drew ‘rainbows of hope’ to share their messages of hope and love.
This was so very much appreciated, it has really touched our hearts.
We are living in extraordinary times, very few of us have ever experienced anything like this virus and the effect it has had on our daily lives, at such times it is normal to want extra assurance that our loved ones are safe and well.
Consequently, we are currently receiving very high levels of emails and phone calls from relatives and friends, professional people, NHS, Public Health England, etc, all of which is completely understandable. We know you are concerned, and unfortunately you may not be getting answers directly from the homes about what is happening, but please be in no doubt we are all working hard to deliver the best possible care to your loved ones.
Our priority is, as ever, ensuring our residents are properly cared for, and stay safe, well and happy. Please be assured we are maintaining our staffing levels, and currently we have good supplies of PPE. Although we all wish things were different, we are managing to cope in the awful situation we all find ourselves in.
Please understand why we sometimes cannot answer your enquiries straight away, and bear with us at this time.
Coronavirus didn’t stop the delivery of chocolate eggs to the residents of Orchid Care Home. Residents and staff alike were very pleased to see the stand-in bunnies, delivering on behalf of the Big Easter Bunny himself who could not attend this year, for obvious reasons.
The Health Secretary recently called for volunteers to help out with the current crisis for a very wide range of roles. There has been an overwhelming response to this call.
We also urgently need help in our care homes as many of our staff are on sick leave, or self isolating because a family member is ill, or just unable to work because they fall into the high risk category themselves.
We need volunteers with some care experience to join our teams and help us support the elderly and vulnerable people in our care homes.
Volunteers must be 18 or over, and fit and well with no symptoms. Unfortunately, you cannot volunteer in a home where you have a relative or friend who is a resident.
In the first instance, please contact the home where you wish to help.
