Face to face visits at care homes

PEOPLE living in Carmarthenshire County Council’s residential care homes are being allowed face to face visits for the first time since lockdown started in March.

Families and friends can now make plans to visit their loved ones, although social distancing protocols will be in place for the safety of residents, staff and visitors.

Care home managers are in the process of contacting relatives of their residents to inform them of the new procedures and offering them appointments to visit.

Cllr Jane Tremlett, Executive Board Member for Health and Social Care, said:

“We know how much it means to our residents and their families that they can see each other face to face and share their love and support in person.”
