Read the rest of CQC's summary
We found the following examples of good practice.
New activities have been provided for people who usually enjoy accessing the community. For example, at the weekend staff tried to create a café atmosphere in the dining room so people could enjoy a cooked breakfast at home.
The provider had developed an isolation document which detailed how to support people in the event of a COVID-19 outbreak. This identified how to support people who would be unable to self-isolate and how to minimise the risks of spreading infection.
Staff had been trained to assess people's clinical observations such as blood pressure and oxygen saturation levels. This meant that staff were able to monitor people's health for any deterioration and seek further medical assistance if needed.
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.
