Read the rest of CQC's summary

We found the following examples of good practice: • All visitors had to undergo a temperature check and answer a range of relevant questions before entry. There was ample PPE and handwashing facilities available. The registered manager and staff had worked additional hours during the outbreak to ensure people's needs could be met.

• The registered manager was responsive to feedback and worked well with external partners, such as public health teams and commissioning. They understood the potentially negative impact of lockdown on people's wellbeing and had taken proactive steps to limit this.

• The registered manager had repurposed areas of the home to adhere to social distancing guidance, for instance a new outdoor meeting space.
