Read the full summary
The provider followed best practice guidance to ensure visitors to the home did not introduce and spread COVID-19. Information and instructions for visitors were clearly displayed and explained in person by the receptionist. Staff were adhering to personal protective and equipment (PPE) and social distancing guidance.
People were supported to see their visitors in the garden, or when this was not possible people were supported to speak to their families on the phone or via video call.
The provider had an up-to-date infection prevention and control policy that outlined the requirement for isolation rooms for people infected with COVID-19 or people admitted to the home from the hospital or the community. The service was well ventilated, and the layout, use of space and hygiene practice promoted safety.
The provider had ensured staff who were more vulnerable to COVID-19 had a risk assessment in place for staff and people who use the service, and where it was not safe for staff to be at work, they had a furlough scheme in place to protect staff and people.
