We found the following examples of good practice.
Local restrictions on visiting were in place at the time of the inspection and alternative measures such as window visits and video calls were being used.
Systems and processes were in place to safely admit people to the home. There was no movement of residents between the units and occupancy on one unit was being carefully managed to minimise risk. The layout of the home had changed to encourage social distancing and minimise footfall through the service.
All staff, essential visitors and people were screened for symptoms of COVID-19 and had access to testing and personal protective equipment (PPE). A designated area and staff member were allocated to carry out testing.
The provider updated family and friends using a monthly personalised newsletter which included pictures of activities happening within the home.
