Following an outbreak of COVID-19 at Thorney Croft Care Home in Stranraer, Community Integrated Care – the charity which runs the home – and Dumfries and Galloway Health and Social Care Partnership have been working in close partnership to ensure all necessary plans and protocols are in place to manage the outbreak.
Very sadly, within the past week there has been a further four deaths of a resident where COVID was recorded as being present, bringing the total to 14, with positive cases standing at 46 staff and 46 residents.
Thoughts continue to be with families and with staff at this time.
Dumfries and Galloway Health and Social Care Partnership note that this has been a very difficult and distressing situation for all involved, and note the swift action, dedication and commitment of care home operators Community Integrated Care and their colleagues in how they have responded.
