Our staff team We are constantly reviewing the latest guidance from the government and Public Health England to ensure that our colleagues have the skills, knowledge and equipment to provide the best possible care for our residents. Looking after the safety, health and wellbeing of our residents and our colleagues has always been the most important factor in the running of our homes, and that continues to be so. We are truly humbled by the sheer determination and passion that our colleagues show each and every day. On an individual basis and working as teams right across our homes, they make us incredibly proud. Hygiene in our homes All of our teams are trained to the highest standard in Infection Control Measures. They are following enhanced hygiene procedures within the home, including guidance from PHE which states that regular and stringent handwashing for everyone, alongside the use of Personal Protective Equipment at all times, is of vital importance in the prevention and control of infections. We are also making sure that everybody in the homes understands the signs and symptoms of Covid-19 to enable them to carry out rigorous and regular surveillance. Each home has an Infection, Prevention and Control Information Station where we are reinforcing messages of excellent personal hygiene for colleagues and making sure that we have all the latest updates on how they can help. Our housekeeping teams are also playing a key role. They are ensuring that our homes are kept thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, paying particular attention to frequently touched surfaces and objects. Maintaining Health and Wellbeing In addition to following all the latest Government guidance, at Quantum Care we have implemented extra measures to ensure we are providing a safe environment for residents and colleagues. All residents in our homes are having their temperature checked regularly to allow for early detection if somebody is unwell. In addition, on arrival for their shift at the home, colleagues are also having their temperature checked, as well as being asked a series of health screening questions about their own health and that of their family before they have contact with residents. Our residents and staff teams are also undergoing regular Covid-19 tests. Please see our Frequently Asked Questions for families and friends for the latest information on resident and colleague testing in our homes.
