We found the following examples of good practice.
The provider had set up clear visiting and testing arrangements for essential care givers and three named visitors for people in the home. There were a number of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) stations around the home and at appropriate places between floors and communal areas. Staff had received additional training to support them during the pandemic and had been given handy pocket-sized guides to putting on and taking off their PPE. The home was large and had a number of communal areas. Steps had been taken to remove any items which could pose a risk of cross contamination, but areas remained inviting, safe spaces where social distancing guidelines could be respected. The home had interactive technology for people to remain in contact with family and friends.
