People's experience of using this service: The management team were following advice and guidance from other agencies about infection control and prevention and had updated staff practice accordingly.
Staff used personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriately and when people used equipment which could increase the risk of infection, staff had access to and used specific PPE and took the correct precautions. There were PPE 'stations' around the service to ensure PPE was readily at hand.
The management team had deployed agency staff who were only working at Abbey Lodge to ensure safe staffing levels were maintained. People were encouraged and supported to stay in their bedrooms to enable the service to manage the outbreak of COVID-19. People were offered reassurance and reminders of how to keep themselves and others safe.
