We found the following examples of good practice
During periods of lockdown staff increased activities at the service. They encouraged people to make full use of the garden and to exercise and keep fit. The registered manager purchased a gazebo and garden games so people could spend more time outside.
Staff supported people to understand COVID-19, IPC and PPE, using communication aids where necessary. They increased their contact with families, explained government guidance to them, and reassured them about people's well-being. When visits were not possible staff supported people to keep in contact with their relatives by phone or online.
