We found the following examples of good practice.
The registered manager had implemented procedures to minimise the risk of infection from visitors. Visiting was by appointment only with one designated person having a contact visit following a negative lateral flow test for COVID-19. Other visits took place in a visitor room with full height screens to support safe visiting. Outside visits were encouraged in warmer weather.
The lay out of the home had been adapted appropriately to support social distancing. Additional activity areas had been created. The dining room had been adapted to create single tables and there were three meal sittings in place to accommodate this reduced capacity.
The service had enough personal protective equipment (PPE) to meet current and future demand. Staff were using PPE correctly and in accordance with government guidelines. Staff always wore masks; in addition, aprons and gloves were used when giving personal care.
The service had up to date infection control policies including those specific to Covid-19 and infection outbreaks. The home looked clean and there were cleaning schedules in place which were monitored by the housekeeper. Monthly infection control audits were done by the registered manager and actions were monitored by the regional management team to ensure completion.
