We found the following examples of good practice:
The registered manager had identified, assessed and mitigated all COVID-19 related risks to people, staff and visitors. Risk assessments and policies were in place to help keep people safe.
Staff were trained in the use of PPE and had access to this throughout the home. Staff had received additional training during the pandemic about correct PPE usage and infection prevention and control (IPC) procedures from the provider.
The home was clean. Hand hygiene points were located in every room and the registered manager completed daily walk arounds to ensure IPC guidance was being adhered to.
Appropriate measures were in place at the entrance and inside the home to prevent visitors from spreading infection.
