We found the following examples of good practice.

All essential visitors had to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). In addition, complete NHS Track and Trace information, provide evidence of a negative COVID-19 test and have their temperature checked prior to entering the home. People were supported to receive organised visits from relatives in a designated safe outdoor 'visiting pod' area with robust cleaning and personal protective equipment [PPE] procedures in place.

Staff supported people's social and emotional wellbeing. Meaningful activities were adapted and taking place in smaller groups or one to ones. The service used different methods including information technology to assist communication. Staff supported people to use other technology such as social media and making video calls.

The home had ample supplies of appropriate PPE which was stored hygienically and kept safe. Staff were provided with separate areas to put on, take off and dispose PPE safely.

Social distancing practices were in place at the home, where people used communal areas such as dining rooms and lounge areas, they were able to share these spaces safely.

Additional cleaning of all areas and frequent touch surfaces was in place and being carried out and recorded regularly by housekeeping staff. Additional deep cleaning was also carried out where required.

Staff completed online training and paper-based learning booklets provided by the local NHS infection prevention and control team. Training included putting on and taking off PPE, hand hygiene and other Covid-19 related training.

Additional competency checks, and spot checks were carried out by the registered manager with all staff regarding safe use of PPE.

The registered manager had quality systems in place to check the service was providing safe care. There was a robust communication system in place to ensure staff received consistent updates in relation to infection control policy and practice.
