Read the rest of CQC's summary
We found the following examples of good practice.
The provider had worked with families to agree on nominated visitors for people and had facilitated garden visits for non-designated relatives.
The provider had chosen not to admit people into shared rooms. This was to promote social distancing and to make it easier to isolate people in the event of an outbreak.
The registered manager gave information and support to people and staff around Covid-19 testing and vaccines. This helped them to make informed choices about accessing these resources.
