Welcome to Mornington Court in New Milton A Superior Care Home For Hampshire

The Cinnamon Welcome for New Residents

All Cinnamon Care Homes have reassuring protocols in place to guarantee that it is safe for new residents to move into our homes. All new residents, whether joining us from hospital or their own home will have been tested in advance and should be negative for COVID-19.

In line with the plan in "Living with COVID-19", residents moving into a care home no longer need to complete an isolation period, providing they fulfil the following criteria:

• There needs to be assurance about the circumstances at the person's location, prior to admission.
• The person completes a PCR swab test before admission (within 72 hours) or
• The person submits to a LFT swab test on the day of admission (day 0).

Visiting Your Loved One

Government plan on Living with COVID-19 has now been reflected in the guidance that is provided to Adult Social Care. This advice now enables a higher number of visitors in Care Homes, with changes to testing regime as well.

Visitors will no longer be required to show evidence of a negative Lateral Flow test on the day of their visit.

Whilst the government no longer instruct general public to adhere to social distancing and to the use of face masks, there has been no changes to how care homes can operate, and the expectation is that we retain current infection prevention and control measures to protect our residents. In our Homes, residents can have a higher number of visitors, who can visit regularly, provided they follow infection control measures: face masks must be worn, and we request that those visiting continue to practice hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette, ensure enough ventilation in the room visiting and keep socially distanced from other residents and team members.

Whilst in the resident bedroom, and providing that people remain socially distanced and there is proper ventilation in the room, visiting party can remove the facemask and enjoy a drink. Certain communal spaces, which can be closed off to other residents and visiting parties, can be booked for a family gathering.

You no longer need to schedule your visit, however we ask visitors who are feeling unwell not to enter the care home, even if they have tested negative for Covid 19 and are fully vaccinated. Symptoms such as a cough, high temperature, diarrhoea, or vomiting may be an indication of other transmissible viruses and infections and therefore you should refrain from visiting.

Visits are also possible during a period of outbreak, although limited to one visiting party, even if resident is in isolation following a positive COVID-19 test.
