There was personal protective equipment (PPE) available, and we observed staff were wearing PPE appropriately. Staff had received training in infection control and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Testing for people using the service and staff, was in line with government guidance. The registered manager understood their responsibilities if any test results were positive for COVID-19. This ensured action could be taken promptly to reduce the risk of exposure of the virus.
