Service for Older People Visiting Restrictions

From May 10th, in line with national guidelines we aim to facilitate up to four visits per week for each resident in the Service for Older People.

Please note that all visits must be scheduled with the ward

  •  Max of 4 visits per week
  • Max of 2 visitors per session

To reduce the level of footfall on any given day visits will be spread out over 4 days with a limited number of visits allowed per day as follows:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday
between the times of 14.30-17.00

For residents who appear to be imminently approaching end of life a more individual approach to visiting will be taken as determined by senior nursing and medical team members.

The above measures will be reviewed weekly taking into consideration the levels of Covid circulating in the community.  We thank you for your continuing support during the pandemic.

The following procedure will apply for each visit:

  • Hand hygiene must be performed and face mask applied.
  • Check in on iPad at the front door and proceed to the visitor’s reception desk where your temperature will be checked.
  • No further PPE is required for non-suspect visits.
  • Hand hygiene is also required on entry to ward and before their visit.
  • You are advised to maintain social distance during the visit.

Please do not visit Marymount if you or a member of your family is feeling unwell
