Romney House

Romney House provides residential care and personal care for up to 20 older people, with 14 residents at the time of inspection. The home has implemented thoughtful measures to support residents' wellbeing and family connections. All visits follow government guidance with regular communication about any changes to arrangements. The service purchased an electronic large screen device to help residents maintain regular contact with family and friends, which also enhances social activity opportunities. Strict infection prevention measures are in place, including symptom screening for visitors in the entrance hall and provision of personal protective equipment. Staff escort all visitors throughout their visit. The home's large garden provides additional space for outdoor visits in good weather, and the service previously used screens and a visiting pod to enhance safety during the pandemic.
