We found the following examples of good practice.
The home had comprehensive policies and procedures to manage any risks associated with the COVID pandemic, including the management of people with a COVID positive diagnosis.
There were sufficient supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) available for people. Hand sanitiser was readily available throughout the home. Staff had been trained in infection prevention and control (IPC) and the use of PPE.
Daily cleaning schedules were in place. All cleaning was undertaken by the staff, which included touch point cleaning.
A programme of COVID testing for both people living in the home and staff was undertaken in line with current government guidance. Appropriate procedures were in place should anyone display any symptoms or test positive. All visitors, including healthcare professionals, were subject to a range of screening procedures. This included showing evidence of vaccination and a negative lateral flow test before entry into the home was allowed.
We were informed that residents did not receive many visitors. However, staff supported the social and emotional wellbeing of residents, which included access to a range of activities based on the individual need of each resident.
