**Visiting**

Our home is looked upon as a resident’s home and hence, subject to the resident’s
wishes, visitors are very welcome.

All visitors are requested to enter their details in the visitor’s book and to sign
out on departure. Visitors should be made aware that this is to comply with care
home regulations.

Residents can usually receive visitors in their own room or in one of the lounges
or in the dining room. Visitors wishing to take residents off the premises should
speak to the manager, deputy manager or senior carer on duty first to ensure that
any medication can be provided and that the trip out is within the capacity of the
resident. This needs noting in the visitors book on departure and return.

**Arrangements for pets **
 As part of our entertainments program we have visiting
animals from time to time, however if you wish to have your own pet visit the home
this can be arranged with the manager.

**Residents Property **
 The home will not accept any liability whatsoever for loss
of or damage to any money or other valuable property kept (or said to be kept) by
the resident in or about the home unless such money or property shall have been 
identified to the home in writing with a current written valuation or deposited 
within the home’s safe for safekeeping.

In the case of money, liability will not be accepted unless it is deposited with
the home for safekeeping up to a maximum of £500 in value. In the case of all other
property the homes liability in respect of any item shall not exceed £500. For items
above £500 the individual resident is solely responsible for separate insurance 
policy to cover that risk.

The home’s employees or staff are not permitted to directly accept any gifts, and/
or presents from the residents or to sign as a witness any legal document, which
pertains to one of the residents in the home.
