Maintaining care home safety is critical as new COVID-19 strains, including Stratus (XFG) and Nimbus (NB.1.8.1), spread across the UK. Over recent weeks, our team at 24 NRG Group has visited multiple care homes and observed the real-world impact of these variants on staff, residents, and daily operations.
Team members Neil Shepherd and Andy Chapman witnessed temporary lockdowns and increased infection control demands in several facilities. Protecting residents and staff requires a combination of awareness, preparation, and effective hygiene practices.
To enhance care home safety, managers should:
-
Review cleaning and disinfection protocols regularly.
-
Ensure all disinfectants are effective against current viral strains.
-
Provide clear communication and ongoing training for staff.
-
Maintain adequate PPE and sanitising supplies.
-
Monitor symptoms and isolate suspected cases immediately.
