COVID-19 Safe
The safety of the people we support, their families and our staff has always been our highest priority. Here is how we keep everyone protected.
Our Commitment to Safety
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, Ophrah Oak Care has maintained rigorous infection prevention and control measures across all our services. We follow the latest guidance from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the Department of Health and Social Care.
Our approach is built on transparency, consistency and care. We keep our practices up to date as guidance evolves, and we communicate openly with the people we support and their families about the steps we are taking.

A comprehensive set of protocols that protect everyone involved in our care services.

Risk Assessments
We carry out individual risk assessments for every person we support, taking into account their specific vulnerabilities and circumstances to tailor our protective measures accordingly.
Outbreak Management
We have clear, tested protocols in place to respond swiftly to any suspected or confirmed cases, including isolation procedures, enhanced cleaning and immediate notification to relevant authorities.
