Latest figures show that 95% of residents at St Peter’s Park Retirement Village, operated by Agincare, in Bexhill have now received a first COVID-19 vaccination (2 March 2021).
The majority of care workers at our Bexhill care home have also been vaccinated and the home is currently COVID free, following latest guidance on PPE and carrying out regular testing.
Registered manager Lisa Turner said:
The vaccination roll-out feels like such a positive step forward for us all, with the prospect of brighter days coming after what has been a hard year.
All we want to do is simply give our existing and new residents a safe and happy home, including welcoming more visits from family and friends with fewer restrictions in the future.
Jim was the first to be vaccinated, quickly followed by Derek and Mary.
We welcome the latest figures at St Peter’s Park, which are mirrored at Agincare homes across the country.
Agincare Chief Operating Officer Tim Buckley said:
We are very pleased with the positive response by our care team and residents to the vaccination programme at St Peter’s Park Retirement Village.
Agincare is working daily with local authorities and NHS teams to ensure remaining and new care home residents are vaccinated as soon as they are able, as well as any remaining care workers across our homes nationwide.
