We found the following examples of good practice: On arrival to the service, there was an infection control process which included temperatures being taken. We saw visitors were required to wear the appropriate PPE in line with government guidelines.
The home was clean, and a rigorous cleaning schedule was in place and followed by a dedicated cleaning team and staff. Additional cleaning schedules had been introduced to reflect additional tasks such as cleaning of frequently touched surfaces. Regular audits took place which led to improvements and safety.
Staff had been well trained and followed robust PPE [personal protective equipment] protocols. The provider ensured there was a sufficient stock of personal protective equipment (PPE). Staff had infection control training and understood the correct donning and doffing procedure. The Head of Care audited areas such as effective hand hygiene. This included observations using a lotion and UV torch to show whether hand washing was thorough.
People were supported by a consistent team of permanent staff whom they knew well.
The provider participated in the COVID-19 regular testing programme for both people and staff.
The provider had systems in place to ensure safe admissions, including only allowing new admissions after a confirmed negative result of the COVID-19 test.
Additional, regular communication took place. This included updates for people and their relatives to share the current 'Covid-19 status' of the service and any changes to the visiting policy. We saw a letter dated 3 February 2022 had been sent to family and friends from the provider's Operations Director to provide latest information on visiting guidance.
The provider considered risks and impact of the inspection on the individual staff members, this included around their health conditions as well as their caring responsibilities.
The provider ensured people's relatives were able to stay in touch with people. For example, through visits in line with government guidance and the essential care giver status.
