SURVEY Moving towards Normalised Visiting in Care Homes in Northern Ireland

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU - survey closes 9th April!

As we continue to deal with the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic in NI and make progress with vaccination it is recognised that there is a need to continually review visiting in Care Homes, balancing both risk and the need for families to spend quality time together. We want to hear what matters to you in relation to moving towards normalised visiting in and out of the Care Home – we want to know what is important to you and what concerns you may have.

The survey is designed for residents, relatives, staff and Care Home providers to share their thoughts on moving toward normalised visiting in and out of the Care Home.

You can access the survey:

This is important work to support residents, relatives and Care Homes to share their views on visiting. We would encourage Care Home managers and families to support residents to be part of this project.
