Read the full summary
Staff asked visitors to the service to have their temperature taken on arrival and provided facilities for handwashing. Clear instructions were displayed regarding handwashing and putting on personal protective equipment (PPE).
Staff had been trained in infection prevention and control and further training was planned for the day following the inspection.
The service had a detailed cleaning regime which the dedicated cleaner followed. This helped reduce the risk of infection. In addition, all staff cleaned contact points such as railings and handles at regular intervals.
The management team were up to date with latest guidance and ensured staff were also aware through meetings and handovers.
The service participated in a weekly testing programme for staff and monthly testing for people using the service.
Changes were made to the layout of the lounge and two meal time sittings were introduced to allow social distancing in communal areas. However the layout of the building, particularly the hallways made social distancing in these areas difficult.
We were somewhat assured that the service had an infection control policy. However this was a general policy and not specific to the service. Risks relating to the layout of the building and risks to staff of black and minority ethnic backgrounds had not been assessed. The management team said they would address this following the inspection.
