COVID-19 Visiting Resources for Care Providers

We know how important connection is between service users and their loved ones, especially now. That's why we put together a couple of resources around visitation guidance during COVID-19 for you to use when making decisions about letting visitors come to your facility.

Here at Log my Care we’re committed to helping our community in any way possible. After hearing huge calls for help and advice when it came to allowing visits to residential services, we dashed off and consulted with expert Stuart Prince, Special Advisor to Age UK. He’s come up with three incredibly handy resources that’ll be sure to make your visit planning and assessments a doddle.

Our resource pack includes:

  • Visiting policy guidelines – use this as a framework to create a visiting plan for the service.
  • Risk assessment form – calculate the risk of allowing a visit.
  • Decision-making flowchart – how to know the right time to allow visits.

We hope these resources help you make the right decision when it comes to allowing visitors to your care facility. If you feel there is a resource we’re missing, ping us a message and we’ll look into developing it.
