We found the following examples of good practice:

The registered manager had established effective infection prevention and control procedures which were understood and followed by the staff. The registered manager had introduced a screening process for visitors when entering the building, which included health and temperature checks as well as the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) and lateral flow device testing for COVID-19.

A new room had been built on the home, to facilitate visits in a safe way. The room had external access and was light and airy.

Admission to the home was completed in line with COVID-19 guidance. People were only admitted following a negative COVID-19 test result and supported to self-isolate for up to 14 days following admission to reduce the risk of introducing infection. People's health and well-being was carefully monitored during this time.

There were plentiful supplies of PPE and stocks were carefully monitored. Staff had been trained in infection control practices and posters were displayed in the home to reinforce procedures. We observed staff were using PPE appropriately. There were sufficient staff to provide continuity of support should there be a staff shortage. A regular programme of testing for COVID-19 was in place for staff and people living in the home. This meant swift action could be taken if any positive results were received.

The layout of the service and the communal areas were suitable to support social distancing. The premises had a good level of cleanliness and was hygienic throughout. Care staff were following an enhanced cleaning schedule and there was good ventilation. The atmosphere of the home was calm and peaceful, and we observed staff were attending to people's needs.

The provider had updated their infection prevention and control policies, which included a business continuity plan. The registered manager had contact with the local authority and kept abreast of any changes in policy provided by Public Health England, CQC and the Department of Health and Social Care.
