Response to Enquiries about Lark Hill Village
“The welfare and safety of our charity’s residents is our primary concern. Our charity’s staff are working day and night to ensure the safety and welfare of our residents who are particularly vulnerable during the Covid-19 outbreak.
“Nadia joined us as a casual worker, to help our care team by providing support for our residents on eight care shifts during March and April. We welcomed Nadia’s support and are grateful for the contribution she’s made at Lark Hill. We continue to value our relationship with Nadia as one of our local Nottingham MPs, as we do with all MPs associated with our retirement communities.
“With respect to PPE, Lark Hill Village has over three months’ supply of PPE, including over 25,000 pairs of gloves, 7,700 aprons and nearly 6,000 masks; we have access to further equipment should we need it.
“ExtraCare campaigned for PPE in early April to ensure that none of our 20 retirement communities would be without PPE. We recognise that there may be shortages nationally, but this has not been the position at our Lark Hill Village.
“Lark Hill is the largest retirement village in the UK and home to 419 older people with an average age of 82 years. Partly as a result of rigorous infection control measures which include a full supply of PPE, we are relieved to report that no deaths have occurred within the Lark Hill community as a result of Covid-19.
“Our vigilance, care and concern continue and this will continue to be our team’s complete focus as we support and protect our Lark Hill community during the coming weeks and months.
“We are acutely aware of the very significant impact that Covid-19 has had on our country and in particular the care sector. We stand together with our colleagues to support all those who have been affected.”
