A visiting booth has been installed at a Denbighshire care home.
The booth, at Dolwen in Denbigh which is managed by Denbighshire County Council,
was designed and built by staff member Erfyl Jones, who is a support worker at
the home.
The booth has
allowed residents at the care home, who have been unable to mix since December,
to reunite.
Once
restrictions around visiting care homes have been changed, the booth can be
used by families and friends visiting loved ones.
Dolwen
residents Olwen Lloyd and Janet Kenyon Thompson were the first to use the booth
after it was installed on February 11.
Cllr Bobby
Feeley, the council’s Lead Member for Well-being and Independence, said: “I
would like to thank Erfyl for his work designing and building the visiting
booth which has been a great boost for residents.
“It has helped
residents interact with friends from different sections of the home, which for
safety reasons have been kept separate. I’m pleased to see how much joy
this has brought to our residents.
“Once the
regulations around visiting care homes change, this booth will provide friends
and family the chance to visit their loved ones in a safe way.”
