We found the following examples of good practice.

The registered manager had a system to monitor covid testing and test results efficiently.

People were supported to continue their interests during the national lockdown such as arts and crafts and music.

The registered manager and the provider were exploring ways to enable people to see their relatives over the upcoming festive period. People had previously been supported to see relatives outside during the summer months.

Cleaning schedules were in place which were supported by the whole staff team. High touch areas were cleaned regularly throughout the day. These measures helped to reduce the risk of transmission of coronavirus.

People had their temperatures taken throughout the day to monitor any changes. This helped to reduce the risk of transmission of coronavirus.
