Bringing families back together again with care home visitor pods

Sector: Care Homes

We have been working closely with our care home clients in the wake of recent Government issued guidance for care homes in England stating all residents should be allowed Covid-secure visits using visitor pods, window visits or outdoor visits.

As you can imagine, this is welcome news to Care homes across the UK. The Government is encouraging care homes to install external visitor pods where the visitor and resident enter through different entrances and visitors do not need to enter the care home.

Prior to this guidance, many care homes were reluctant to allow visitors, having seen the catastrophic impact of COVID-19.

Working on this project with our clients is truly satisfying for us, by constructing our unique temporary visitor pods at so many care homes up and down the country we can see that our pods are genuinely appreciated and satisfy a vital need for both resident and visitors. We are delighted to assist the care home community by providing warm, comfortable pods so that they can spend precious time with their loved ones again.

If you’d like to see how we progress with our pod installations, we will be sharing updates on our social media over the coming weeks. Here are the final designs as to what we are expecting the pods to look like.
