Visiting
Keeping in touch is easy
We have an open visiting policy which means that visitors are welcome at all reasonable times. Residents’ family and friends are encouraged to visit or maintain regular contact with our residents by letter, telephone, email or online video calls if they are unable to visit in person.
Keeping everyone safe
Visitors are asked to use the disinfecting gel at the door on arrival. For security and fire safety reasons, they are asked to sign the Visitors Book in Reception on arrival and departure.
The external door is locked as dusk approaches but a bell which sounds throughout the home can be activated at the entrance on Ocean Road alerting staff to waiting visitors.
Residents have the right to refuse to see any visitor and this right will be respected by staff.
Telephone and internet
A cordless telephone enables all residents to receive incoming calls to the main switchboard in their rooms for added privacy.
Staff will offer to assist the residents to respond to letters and there is access to the internet for our ‘silver surfers’ with laptops provided for residents to use.
Warmth, light and love at Peregrine House
