STAFF at a Worcester care home have hailed being vaccinated against Covid-19 the ‘first step’ on the road back to having visitors for residents.
Latimer Court staff’s spirits were lifted when vaccinations began in the home last week and general manager Kerry Hill described the process as ‘the light at the end of the tunnel’.
“Our teams have been magnificent in how they have risen to every challenge during this pandemic and we are proud to play our part in this next phase to ensure the most vulnerable are protected,” she said.
Staff member Mandy Smallwood said: “I am so pleased to be given the vaccine. It will help to keep our residents safe and is the first step in getting things back to normal and having a buzz of visitors in the home once again.”
“We are welcoming new residents into our homes to ensure that we are there for those that need care and support and have a very clear protocols that must be met including a transition period into our home to help keep everyone safe.”
