The following information was given out from Avenue House following a Board telephone conference this morning. All residents are safe and free from the virus; the only way to maintain this status is by complete lockdown.
Unfortunately Avenue House is now on complete lockdown and is only open to staff and Healthcare Professionals. We really didn’t want to have to do this but we are sure you all understand why it’s necessary given the fast developments in the Coronavirus pandemic.
We know that it is going to be incredibly difficult not seeing your loved ones, so to try to maintain as much contact as possible, we have set up a Skype account for the home. The address for this is avenuehouseresident@outlook.com. Please let us know if and when you would like to use this and we will ensure that the resident is in the right place and connected! Please also keep an eye on our Facebook page, where we will try to upload as many photos as possible. www.facebook.com/TheWestOfEnglandFriendsHousingSociety
We have today been informed that our Manager Caroline is on the ‘at risk’ register, and therefore will be required to self isolate for the next 12 weeks. Fear not though, she will still be actively involved in the day to day management of the home as she is being set up to work from home as far as possible. She will be in constant contact with the staff at Avenue House and is more than happy for any relatives or residents to contact her whenever they like, either by email (caroline.cooper@friendshousingbristol.org.uk), phonecall (07983635547) or Whatsapp video call.
Thank you so much to everyone that has offered help and support should we need it – we will miss not seeing you all for a while!
Stay safe. From all at Avenue House.
