We found the following examples of good practice. The provider had established cleaning routines which were well documented and ensured all parts of the service were cleaned throughout the day.
Staff had clear infection control policies to follow and wore personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriately. We observed staff using PPE and saw there were PPE stations throughout the home where staff could easy access it. People said staff were diligent in wearing masks all the time. One person commented "They are on top on this, they know exactly what they are doing." Another said "This is a great place to live I feel very safe."
People were supported to have visits with their friends and family and visitors were asked to test for COVID- 19 and to wear PPE throughout their visit.
The service had developed a testing regime for staff and people living at the service, in line with government guidance.
