What inspectors found

Natalie House is a care home providing accommodation and personal care for up to five people. At the time of our inspection there were five people living at the home.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

We found the following examples of good practice.

A visiting policy was in place to facilitate people seeing loved ones in line with new Government guidance. Letters had been sent to friends and family to inform them of the process in place.

People were supported to use specific bathrooms in the home. This meant that people were accustomed to using separate facilities which would support self-isolation should the need arise.

Staff were wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in line with Government guidance. Training in the use of PPE had been received by the staff team during the pandemic.

Cleaning schedules were enhanced to include high touch areas and two hourly sanitisation of the home.

Care plans considered people's individual needs relating to COVID-19, such as how they could be supported with the testing program. Where people lacked capacity, plans were made in people's best interests and involved the person, their loved ones and relevant professionals. However, staff were not risk assessed to consider COVID-19 and their individual needs.
