Lyons Gardens is registered to provide personal care for up to 11 people. People living at the service live with a learning disability or with autistic spectrum disorder. The service specialises in offering short term care, respite care and temporary care for people requiring an emergency admission. There were six people being supported with the regulated activity of personal care at the time of our inspection.

We found the following examples of good practice. Family and friends could visit people who lived at the service in line with current guidance. However, most family and friends chose to visit their relative, friend outside of the service. If family and friends wanted to visit the service, they would need to have completed a rapid COVID-19 test, prior to visiting and had their temperature checked. There would be gaps between visits to reduce the risk of people encountering other visitors, staff or other people from the service. Visitors would also be required to wear the supplied PPE (personal protective equipment).
External health and social care professionals and visitors had to show their vaccination status, complete a rapid COVID-19 test, just before visiting and had their temperature checked. They also had to wear the correct PPE before entering.
Staff supported people to use computer tablets and phones to video call and/or communicate with family and friends. This promoted people's social well-being. There was a business contingency plan in place to help with any staff absences due to staff leaving the service, being unwell or self-isolating due to COVID-19. Emergency planning had been requested to support staff by the registered manager. This meant there would be a temporary stop to emergency placements.
People had their temperature checked twice a day to monitor their health. Anybody remaining at the service for over a month had a COVID-19 swab test. Staff were tested for COVID-19 twice a week and had rapid COVID-19 tests daily. This was because agency staff and staff from sister homes were being asked to support shifts. This had been risk assessed. Staff had their temperature checked when they started their shift and again during their shift.
Staff were observed to be wearing their PPE correctly including face masks. Staff did not appear to be fiddling with their face masks when worn. Staff were bare below the elbow and were wearing a minimum amount of jewellery with long hair tied up that promoted good infection control.
