The service used isolation, cohorting and zoning effectively.

Infection Prevention and Control Policy was regularly updated, including a Covid-19 IPC Policy.

Staff had all completed infection prevention and control training, and this included the correct procedures for using PPE.

The service was clean throughout. There were appropriate procedures to ensure infection control risks were minimised.

The registered manager had contingency plans in place to prepare for an outbreak and manage any staff absences effectively.

The registered manager was very proud of their staff team and people we spoke with were very positive about living at the service. One person said, "We are all thoroughly spoilt here."
