What inspectors found

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 25 February 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Ashfield Court is a large detached house which has been extended and adapted for its current use. There are two main parts to the service; the original house area and a newer extension, known as "the wing." Ashfield Court is registered to provide nursing and residential care for up to 45 people, although we were informed that the maximum number the service would accommodate now would be 42, due to changes in room configuration. The accommodation is across three floors and there is a passenger lift serving all floors. At the time of the inspection there were 28 people living at the home.

We found the following examples of good practice.

The service had a visitors pod and a room with window access to allow people who lived at the service to see relatives. For essential visitors who entered the building, the service screened visitors for signs of COVID- 19. There was also Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and hand sanitiser at the main entrance. Visitors who were not part of a routine COVID-19 testing programme would have a "rapid" COVID-19 test before being able to enter the service.

The service had PPE stations, hand sanitiser and posters throughout the premises for staff and people living at the service to use. Members of staff had detailed knowledge of taking on and taking off PPE and the risks around COVID-19. People living at the service spoke positively of the staff. One person told us "I'm very happy with the care. The house keepers clean my room each day."

Members of staff had their temperature taken before starting each shift and people living at the service had their temperature taken twice per day. Staff had three COVID-19 tests per week and people living at the service had a COVID-19 test every 28 days.
