Read the rest of CQC's summary
We found the following examples of good practice. The provider had systems in place to ensure staff knew how to keep people and themselves safe and reduce any risk of COVID-19. The provider had continually reviewed their infection prevention and control (IPC) policies. Staff were regularly updated with changes to government guidance and procedures to follow to keep people, staff and visitors safe.
Staff completed IPC training and were observed to be wearing the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) and following best practice. There was guidance for staff displayed around the home to remind them of best practice, which was also discussed during daily handovers.
There were robust visiting protocols in place to ensure the provider was preventing visitors from catching and spreading infections. Visitors needed to take a lateral flow device COVID-19 test and were provided with the necessary PPE upon entry to the home. This assured us the provider was facilitating visits for people living in the home in accordance with the current guidance.
Staff were involved in regular COVID-19 testing and the provider made sure they were following the recent legal requirement for all staff and relevant visitors, such as health and social care professionals, to have had the COVID-19 vaccine.
The home was clean and hygienic throughout.
