Updated visitor arrangements at our Dorchester Inpatient Unit
Please follow these guidelines if you are expecting to visit
At Weldmar Hospicecare, we want to support loved ones being with their families during these difficult and uncertain times.
Unlike a number of other hospices, we still have arrangements in place for visitors.
Of course, the safety and wellbeing of patients, staff and visitors is a priority, and for that reason we have the following visiting guidance, which following government advice to help prevent the spread of the virus.
We have updated our visitor arrangements at our Dorchester Inpatient Unit and implemented the following guidance for the foreseeable future.
- Only people seen as ‘essential’ to the patient may visit (and this number should be small)
- We will continue to limit visiting to two essential visitors at a time – but these can now be from different households as long as social distancing is adhered to
- No children under 12
- If you, or anyone in the household have a cough or high temperature, please speak to the Inpatient Unit for guidance – PRIOR TO VISITING – you can call 01305 215300.
We thank you for understanding.
