We found the following examples of good practice.
Sufficient stocks of personal protective equipment (PPE) were available and this was appropriately stored. Staff had been trained in how to use PPE safely to reduce the risk of cross contamination and spread of infection.
Systems were in place to check staff competencies in relation to the safe use of PPE. This included managers carrying out observations of staff practice and of testing staff on their knowledge.
Audits were carried out to review infection control within the home. This enabled action to be taken if any issues were identified.
Enhanced cleaning schedules had been introduced since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This ensured regularly touched surfaces were cleaned throughout the day.
Infection control policies and procedures were in place. Information was available for staff to reference should they need any information.
Systems were in place to support people to maintain contact with people important to them. Where face to face visits were unable to take place, technology was available to support people to remain in contact with their family and friends. This helped to minimise the impact of the pandemic on people's wellbeing.
