We found the following examples of good practice.
Current government guidelines in relation to COVID-19 were being followed this ensure that both staff and visitors reduced the risk of infection to people living at the home. This included comprehensive checks for staff and visitors on arrival. This included taking your temperature, checking your COVID-19 status, a health questionnaire and undertaking an lateral flow test.
The Hillings managed risk in relation to infection well, where people were unable to social distance regular observation checks were recorded and increased touchpoint cleaning was undertaken.
In the case of an outbreak contingency plans were in place. The service layout provided units to reduce the risk of cross contamination. Staff were allocated to work only in one unit and not work across units where people had already tested positive for COVID-19.
