Temporary ‘pods’ are being provided to care homes across Wales to better facilitate visits over Christmas and the winter months.

The semi-permanent units will be available for a period of 6 months, whilst longer-term solutions are sourced and put in place. Expanding capacity within care homes will help to better support risk-assessed visiting during the winter months as some care providers have found it difficult to support socially distanced visits due to a lack of internal visiting space.
