At Swillbrook House we will always aim to provide each of our service users with a safe space for their loved ones to visit them.  Our adjustments to our visitor's policy are updated alongside any changes to government guidances and legislation.  

Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

Yes, our care home has mobile phone signal in all our resident’s rooms.

Telephone for external calling
