Read the rest of CQC's summary
We found the following examples of good practice.
The service was a purpose-built home. The design and layout enabled effective infection prevention and control. For example, spacious rooms supported social distancing.
The service was clean and free from malodour. Regular cleaning following a cleaning schedule helped to reduce the risk of people catching or spreading COVID-19.
Zoning in the home had been used to good effect during the outbreak to reduce mixing between people and staff across the home. This helped reduce the risk of transmitting infection.
Staff closely monitored people's health and wellbeing. They completed checks, including temperature checks to identify any possible symptoms of COVID-19.
The provider worked with the registered manager to learn from their experiences of working during the COVID-19 pandemic and improve their ways of working.
Government guidance in relation to visiting in the home had not always been followed. We have made a recommendation about this.
