Read the rest of CQC's summary
We found the following examples of good practice. ● The provider had worked with relatives to ensure testing arrangements met their needs and helped facilitate more visits. These included window and outdoor visits when restrictions were in place. ● Staff had worked hard to ensure the service did not rely on agency staff, including covering additional shifts to ensure high levels of continuity. ● The service was clean throughout. ● The registered manager had repurposed a downstairs quiet room to enable one person to isolate and have their own bathroom space, when the service had experienced an outbreak.
