Read the rest of CQC's summary
We found the following examples of good practice.
The provider had ordered an outdoor visitor pod so people would be able to spend time with loved ones in a safe way. An appointment system would be used, and there was a process in place to ensure the pod was cleaned between visits.
Visitors were required to complete a risk assessment before visiting the home. Screening questionnaires were completed on entry to ensure they were safe to visit people at the home.
There was a designated lead for infection control at the home. They carried out observations to ensure staff were using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in line with guidance and carrying out effective handwashing.
Enhanced cleaning schedules were in place which included high touch areas at least every four hours. Separate cleaning schedules for daily, weekly and monthly cleaning were in place and were audited by the registered manager.
