We found the following examples of good practice.
Visiting was arranged via a booking system. Visits took place in the conservatory. This had been appropriately set out to allow social distancing, and a regular cleaning schedule was in place. People who could not access this had individual arrangements to allow their relatives to still visit.
Guidance for admissions to the service was being followed appropriately. People were supported to isolate in their own room for the required period and there were clear signs on bedroom doors to remind staff of this.
The furniture in the communal areas had been arranged to encourage social distancing between people. Staff were seen to be wearing correct personal protective equipment (PPE). Staff had a rota for their breaks to ensure they maintained distancing.
The registered manager had a clear Infection Prevention and Control policy in place. This also included an audit process where the registered manager regularly reviewed practice to ensure it was up to date and safe. This was personalised to The Maples and any risks concerning COVID-19 were identified and addressed.
