The safety and wellbeing of our customers, colleagues and partners continues to be our priority.
In line with guidance from the government, NHS and Public Health England, we continue to adapt our working practices to maintain services to our customers and keep them safe, whilst providing extensive support and advice during this uncertain time.

Our offices continue to be closed to visitors but we are providing updated information for our customers – including rent and financial advice along with links to other sources of support – through our member websites:
Care Plus supports more than 2,000 residents in our retirement living communities and residential care home. We also provide crucial care to older and vulnerable customers in their own homes.
We are at the frontline of efforts to help keep older and vulnerable people safe. Our teams are maintaining these essential services, taking every precaution to prevent infection.
We have been clear about the need to help protect residents in our retirement living communities by ceasing social events and closing access to communal facilities, other than to access fire doors. Visits now should be for essential reasons such as delivering shopping or medication or to carry out personal planned care.

Updated advice for customers is published on the Care Plus website.
More than 800 people work in our organisation and as a responsible employer, we have put measures in place across our Group reflecting government guidance. These include:
