Dear all,
As you are aware, the national vaccination programme is continuing and, given our work to care for elderly
and vulnerable residents, care home staff are in the government’s first priority group to receive the vaccine.
It is very reassuring that many of you have already received your first dose, and that most of those who
needed to wait to receive their vaccine for specific personal reasons will be able to have their vaccine soon.
The last year has been exceptionally challenging for all of you and I am proud of the effort and dedication
you have shown. We must continue to protect our residents, and we know that any chance of this disease
being present in a home must be incredibly distressing for them and their families. Knowing that the staff
working in their home have been vaccinated will be a very welcome relief.
We also need to help you protect each other. As you know, looking after our residents is a team effort and
each of you needs to be fit, healthy and physically able to attend work and give your best on each shift.
There have been some reports of people not wanting to receive the vaccine due to personal concerns and
speculation. It is our company policy that we believe strongly that we must follow the recommendations of
scientific experts and regulatory agencies, who have confirmed the vaccines available are safe and effective.
It is all of our responsibility to protect those around us, especially our residents who are some of the most
vulnerable in our society.
Vaccinations are the only option to be certain to protect your ability to work and to keep everyone safe. We
are available to help address concerns any of you might have, and we are committed to helping each of you
receive your vaccine as soon as you can.
We are here to help answer any questions you might have as we progress towards full vaccination, as well
as a time when our residents will be able to see and speak to their loved ones in person again, which we
know is invaluable to their wellbeing and mental health.
Thank you again for your dedication as we work to see an end to this crisis
Kind regards,
Mahesh Patel
Chief Executive
