The service was accessing the government testing scheme which had assisted them to identify an outbreak quickly. The service worked with the local authority infection, prevention and control (IPC) team and other health professionals in managing the outbreak.
The home was clean and had regular cleaning regimes in place. Clear infection prevention signs reminded everyone at the point of entry and throughout the home about procedures for infection control.
Clear communication with staff reinforced hygiene practices, such as in shift handover and daily meetings.
Hand sanitising points were readily accessible throughout the home and staff used these frequently.
People isolating in their rooms had regular contact with staff who wore personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriately. Staff told us they had plenty supplies of PPE.
