UPDATED 3pm SUNDAY 27 JUNE 2021
As you’ll be aware, the Wellington region will remain Covid-19 Alert Level 2 until at least 11:59pm on Tuesday 29 June 2021. The rest of the country will remain at Alert Level 1.
To protect residents and staff in our Wellington, Upper Hutt and Wairarapa region homes, Enliven will be operating with Alert Level 2 restrictions in place. This includes:
- Huntleigh Home
- Longview Home
- Cashmere Home & Cashmere Heights Home
- Kandahar Home
- Woburn Home
Enliven homes within the Alert Level 2 zone will be restricting visits to one person per resident each day. Families can call the home to organise visits or use zoom and hangouts to communicate. All visitors to our homes must wear a face covering while on-site.
There are also some restrictions around where visitors to our retirement villages can go.
If you have visited any of the areas of interest identified by the Ministry of Health, please do not visit our homes until you have returned a negative Covid-19 test result.
If you have visited any of the places of interest/have been contacted by the Ministry of Health as a contact of interest and have been into the Enliven homes since then please make contact with the home and inform the manager ASAP.
