Alwyndor, and all residential care homes will be in mandatory lockdown for the next six days with a possible extension to this time. We understand that this can be an difficult time for residents so our lifestyle team have swung into action to fill our residents calendars with social activities throughout the day to keep everyone engaged and active. Along with activities, we are once again offering our always popular Skype sessions for all residents and their loved ones. These 15 minute sessions will be available on Friday, Monday and Tuesday from 9.30am to 4.30pm. We will then re-assess in line with current restrictions. Please contact 8177 3200 or [email protected] from 9.00am tomorrow (Thursday 19 November 2020) to book your time to have a chat! Please note that due to demand only one session per resident per day will be available. As always, should next of kin visits be essential, please be assured that we will be in touch and will enable loved ones to visit. Home Support All Home Support Services will remain in place.

Therapy Services Therapy Services will continue for essential one on one services, this includes physiotherapy, podiatry and occupational therapy.
