The Langston is a small, independent, family run nursing home in the heart of your community. We have worked hard during the pandemic to develop a COVID safe environment, and look forward to welcoming new people to the home. 

Some of our safety policies and measures include:

• The team and visitors wear appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and we have a good supply of six weeks in stock

• 30 minute COVID-19 testing for visitors for Close Contact Visits 

• The team are trained in Infection Control and Covid-19, as well as completing a monthly training schedule. We also attend regular webinars about testing, vaccines and updated guidance

• Social distancing has become a necessary measure followed by the residents and the team. We have areas in the home where residents can meet safely and enjoy activities whilst social distancing

• The Langston takes pride in the cleanliness of the home and we have increased our cleaning procedures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 

• Visitors are always welcome, however due to COVID-19 visits are by appointment only

• We are happy to welcome new residents to the home and have created a safe and robust admission process 

​

Stimulation and wellbeing 

• Daily activities continue with social distancing

• Inviting family members to visit, have a 30 minute COVID test prior to their visit and meet with their loved ones in a safe and relaxing environment
