Thank you for visiting the website of My Care

Your privacy and the protection of your personal data are important to us. As of May 25, 2018, we have an obligation to collect and protect your data in accordance with new European standards for data protection. The goal of the new framework is to make sure that we deal with your data in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner, and that we take steps to ensure that your data are adequately protected.

This Privacy Policy is where we explain to you how we collect, use, and store your personal data. You can request further information at any time about what personal information we are holding and how it is being used; you can ask for electronic copies of your personal information to be sent to you; and you can request that we erase your personal data.

We are limited to using your data under the following conditions: where you have consented to it, where we need to do so in order to fulfil our contract with you, or in certain special circumstances, such as compliance with legal obligations, or for other legitimate purposes.

We have adopted a “Privacy by Design” approach to your personal information, meaning that, to the best of our ability, we will employ state of the art means of collecting, storing, and transmitting your data, with a view to promoting privacy and data protection from the outset.

A call for help

My Care is placing a call out for anyone who would be willing to volunteer and help staff in our care homes during the current Coronavirus situation. You may be needed to help with a variety of tasks – delivering simple hydration, help with feeding or possibly with medication.

We are looking to create a RESERVE LIST OF VOLUNTEERS that we only call upon in an emergency situation, to cover other members of staff who are unable to be at work. Any relevant skills may be helpful.

The following conditions will apply:

  • There will need to be a screening process
  • We will pay for your DBS check
  • You may have to help us with a quick reference check
  • We will provide you with an induction and training, some of which may be online

If you can help us that would be fantastic. Initially we are asking you to fill in the form below. All we are asking for is your name and contact details and any relevant experience or attributes you have which you think might make you particularly suitable.

The current situation has placed huge demands on a number of different workforces, particularly the NHS and care homes. We are living through extraordinary times and we may need your help if you are able and willing to give it.

Thank you

COVID-19 UPDATE - GUIDANCE FOR VISITORS

Dear Relatives and Friends

You will of course be aware of the current health emergency and the steps that many care
homes have taken to protect the elderly and vulnerable people they look after.

At My Care we have been reducing the number of visitors into our Homes to protect our
residents, but now we need to go further. From now on we will be unable to accept visitors
into our care homes until further notice.

This has been a really difficult decision to make but we are sure that it is the best course of
action that we can take at this moment in time.

What does this mean – it means we are asking relatives and friends to stop their visits to
loved ones, so that we can protect them from the risks of coronavirus transmission.
We understand this will be unsettling and difficult for some families, but it is not a decision
we would be taking but for the current exceptional circumstances. Our priority at the
moment must be to minimise any risk to the health of our residents.

Of course, we recognise that it is vitally important both for you and for our residents that
you are able to stay in touch. We do not want you to lose contact with your loved one, so
we will ensure we keep everyone in touch by arranging video calls, phone calls and emails or
messaging.

If you have any questions for our homes we will try and answer them as quickly as we can.
Please discuss your particular concerns with the relevant Home Management team so that
we can arrange the right kind of communication for you and your loved one.

If a resident is receiving end of life care, we will of course arrange visits to the Care home,
however we will have to ensure you are not displaying any Coronavirus symptoms. We will
have to ask questions about your health before we allow you to visit – we understand this
may be distressing, but we have to do this. Hopefully you can understand this at this time.
All of our relatives have been fantastic so far, and we want to reassure you that we are
doing the very best we can to keep all your loved ones in good spirits, safe and well.

As soon as we have any further updates we will contact you.

March 25 2020.
