Review from Tracy L (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 November 2021
Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My 88-year-old father was at The Village for approximately twelve weeks, from September 2021.
Despite repeatedly asking to see Dad's room and daily living arrangements we weren't allowed 'onto the floor' because of the stringent Covid measures in place.
Visits could only take place in a noisy reception

area, strictly one visit per week by appointment, for thirty minutes maximum, and strictly subject to proof of a Covid test. When we visited we were rarely asked to provide evidence of the Covid test, and we were never asked to wear a mask.
We brought three bags of dad's clothes to The Village but he was rarely dressed in any of his own clothes, which was an undignified experience for him. On discharge only a few of his clothes could be found, we had to leave without them.
Dad needs two hearing aids but he was never wearing them when we visited, despite us querying this numerous times.
All of these comments have been reported to the management team during Dad's stay.

Reply from Martin Pawar, Chief Executive at The Village Nursing Home

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, Covid and these unpredictable times have caused many changes in the way our resident's safety is maintained. We are a complex behaviour home and due to Covid, relatives going onto the units could put residents at risk from outside Covid risk factors. Therefore designated areas for visiting were assigned to include the Reception Area, Hairdressers and Cinema Room. Designated visiting times were present to prevent noise pollution so I am sorry you found visiting to be noisy. We would have accommodated the visit in one of the other areas if you felt that way and we were made aware. We assign a staff member to either do an LFT on family/visitor or check results. We are a care facility and do have signage on the front doors and within the home to ensure visitors wear their masks as per government guidelines for health facilities and we rely on our relatives to also comply with local guidelines. Please call the management team.
