Harlestone Home Care is very proud of their approach to the recent pandemic.
We are extremely pleased to be able to report that statistics show that being cared for in your own home is deemed incredibly safe despite the current situation with COVID-19.
Regrettably, the amount of people who have passed away in residential care has amounted to 11% of the pre-COVID-19 outbreak which is a huge rise.
We are very proud to state that in domicilliary care, the statisics appear to show that far less than 1% of people who are in receipt of care have been lost due to coronavirus.
There may be several reasons for this such as people may be in better health than those in residential care, they may be sheilding or maybe they simply have great care workers such as those who work for HHC!
We have made lots of changes to ensure the safety and well-being of those who use our service whilst continuing to follow government guidelines.
