We found the following examples of good practice.
The registered manager had followed guidance on infection control procedures to safely support people living at the service during and after the pandemic. Processes were in place to ensure people were admitted to the service safely. The registered manager and staff had used innovative ways during COVID-19 to ensure people were supported to see family and friends and to prevent them from becoming isolated.
Visitor care plans were in place assessing the risk to people. Regular visitors, including family and friends had signed declaration forms confirming they had been vaccinated, had no symptoms, and agreed to complete routines tests before visiting the service.
The registered manager had maintained a good stock of personal protective equipment (PPE). People and staff were regularly tested for COVID-19 and where positive results had been returned the registered manager had acted quickly to mitigate the risks to others catching the infection. The registered manager had been open and transparent with friends and family about the recent outbreak of COVID-19 in the service, and recovery dates.
The service was fully staffed and able to manage future coronavirus and other infection outbreaks, and winter pressures.
