We found the following examples of good practice
The provider had a clear visiting policy and procedures in place in relation to relatives and friends, staff and visiting professionals. There was a separate area for visitors to don and doff personal protective equipment (PPE). Staff ensured Covid 19 lateral flow tests had been completed for all relatives when they visited.
At the time of this inspection, residents visitors were being hosted in the lodge separate to the home. This helped ensure as many visits could be achieved as possible as there was not a separate area within the home which was easy to sanitise after each visit.
Staff had received regular training about the pandemic and use of PPE. The home worked with the local authority infection prevention control nurses and attended regular webinars with the local authority.
The provider had supported staff wellbeing. Staff had access to mental health support. Staff who had been shielding or isolating had been contacted and kept up to date regularly by the registered manager.
