One Hampshire care home says it will have to stop taking patients within days because its insurance will expire.
They are looked after on a separate floor from other residents, and the home has had to meet high infection control standards. The government originally hoped there would be 500 designated care homes taking in Covid-positive patients. Waterside House is run by the charity Revitalise, whose chief executive, Jan Tregelles, said they have tried everything, but will soon have to start turning away people.
He is not on the Covid floor of the home, and added: "If I were to go to somewhere else, which is possible, I might not feel quite so safe."After so many deaths last spring, many care homes will not consider taking patients who are Covid-positive, even with extra infection control measures. Sir David said it is one of the reasons why they have not taken part in the designated places scheme."So, this isn't a theoretical risk that there may be proceedings, it's an actual risk, and therefore we need cover.
