Our award-winning homes are proud to offer person-centered nursing care, life enriching activities, nutritious freshly prepared meals and holistic support tailored to individual needs. Please contact the care homes directly for more information, or to arrange a virtual tour of our homes.
We understand how important it is to see your loved ones, not only for their emotional and physical well-being, but also for yours. That is why we have prepared our care homes with Covid-safe indoor visiting spaces for residents and relatives to use. These spaces will be subject to the following safety rules and procedures:
Each home has slightly different arrangements for their indoor visits, so please liaise with each team directly. Our intention now is to continue with this form of visiting indefinitely, however we may have to suspend visiting again if there were to be another widespread lockdown and/or if we are instructed to do so by Government or Local Authority.
Forest Care is here to ensure that for those who need care, we are doing all that we can to keep them safe and protected, while all of our staff are trained in infection control and the use of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).

Unfortunately, it remains that non-essential visitors are not permitted inside our homes for the time being. This is so we can maintain necessary infection control measures during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Enquirers are not able to visit the home for a care home tour, however, we are in the process of making Virtual Tours of each of our care homes, allowing enquirers to view our care homes in great detail at any time.
