Care Home Visiting Guidance

Care Home Visiting Guidance

The Cabinet Secretary for Health & Sport has announced the phased reintroduction of family visiting and communal activities for care home residents today (25 June).

Care homes with no Covid-19 cases or which have been Covid-19 free for 28 days will be able to allow outdoor visiting from 3 July. This phase of visiting will include a single nominated visitor, who will be required to wear a face-covering for the duration of the visit. Physical distancing, hygiene and other appropriate safety measures should also be in place.

The approach to reintroducing care home visits will be done incrementally to protect residents and staff. Further visiting options will only open when scientific and clinical advice indicates that it is safe to do so. The fourth and final phase will see controlled indoor visits and wider use of communal areas by residents.
