We found the following examples of good practice.
People's wellbeing was being supported by visits to the service of family and friends. A visitors pod was in place and in line with the new guidance, the service had extended visiting to enable people to have face to face contact with their loved ones. Additional staff had been made available to facilitate the visits and staff had made efforts to make visitors feel welcome.
Staff employed at the service had received training on infection prevention and the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE). There were clear arrangements at the entrance to the building and at other key areas to minimise the risk of infection.
The was clear signage throughout and PPE equipment was accessible. The service was well maintained and visibly clean. Schedules were in place to show that regular cleaning was undertaken of high touch areas.
One part of the service was not in use at the time of the inspection, but was available should a separate area be required in the event of an outbreak, to reduce the risk of transmission.
The service was following the government guidance on whole home testing for people and staff.
