COVID-19

We are delighted to be able to open our doors to visitors and welcome new residents.

We fully understand that the outbreak of COVID-19 has had a difficult and overwhelming impact on the lives of everyone. We recognise just how important it is to keep our residents safe and secure and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic we have followed guidance from the Governments and local agencies to support the wellbeing of our residents, relatives and staff teams.

We will continue to work closely with our staff, residents and their loved ones to support their preferences and should there be any further outbreaks at the home, we will keep you fully updated.

Unrivalled Levels Of Care, Always

In line with recent Scottish Government guidance effective from September 2022, care homes in Scotland no longer require face masks to be worn during visits due to high vaccination rates and other mitigations against COVID-19 in the social care sector and LFD testing is no longer necessary. Face masks will continue to be provided at the home should it be your preference to continue to wear one and staff will support the preferences of our residents who wish for our staff to wear face masks whilst providing them with care.

We would like to reassure you that we will continue to work closely with our Local Health Protection Teams and will follow their guidance should this decision change. For further information, please click here or contact the Home Manager directly.

Preventative Measures

Our outstanding staff have gone above and beyond since the outbreak of COVID-19. A host of additional safety measures at our facilities have been put in place to ensure our residents continue to live their lives as they always have, with minimal inconvenience. All new safety measures are designed to have as little impact upon residents and their day-to-day lives.

By making just a few adjustments to our home and the way we operate, we can mitigate the risk of COVID-19 in our community. Our specialists at Bothwell Castle Care Home are prioritising the mental, emotional, and physical health needs of all residents; from staying up-to-date with government regulations to providing advice to all residents and their loved ones.

Our Activities Team here at Bothwell Castle is working hard to ensure that an active social life can continue to be enjoyed, while maintaining the highest standards of infection control. Our teams have been able to continue providing exceptional care by utilising Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), screen dividers and sanitisation rooms.
