ST HELENS Hall and Lodge Care Home has opened new visiting pods to allow families to safely visit loved ones inside the home this Christmas despite the pandemic. The care home has created two safe visiting areas which can be accessed from the outside of the building. Families are welcome to visit residents once a week with up to two visitors at a time. Booking is needed for each visit to allow for a deep clean in between each appointment. The new spaces provide residents with the safest possible way to physically meet with families during the continuing threat of Covid-19.
