What inspectors found

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 20 April 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Oakland Grange is registered to accommodate up to 43 people who require personal care. At the time of the inspection, 38 people were living at the home. The home is based on four floors with two interconnecting passenger lifts and an ample choice of communal areas, where people could socially distance.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

We found the following examples of good practice.

The premises were spacious, and all bedrooms were single occupancy. This helped to promote social distancing and reduce the risk of infection transmission within the home.

The registered manager had followed government guidance about visiting. People had been supported to stay in touch with relatives and families and had been supported to spend time with people at the end of their lives in a safe manner.

The home had robust cleaning procedures in place, which had been increased in response to the pandemic. Frequent touch points had been cleaned as often as hourly, with records evidencing this. Cleaning and infection control audits had been completed monthly, alongside daily walk rounds, to ensure best practice was maintained.

Staff had received training in infection prevention and control and on using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) safely. Staff had their infection prevention and control practices monitored to help ensure their competence and understanding. The provider had ensured enough quantities of PPE were available for all staff and visitors.

The provider's Infection prevention control policy was up to date and had been reviewed when new government guidance had been issued.
