Read the rest of CQC's summary
We found the following examples of good practice. • When residents could not participate in external activities due to COVID-19, staff found ways to bring events into the home. These included running music nights, a Mexican-themed party, a beach-themed party and hosting a fireworks display for residents. • Staff were passionate about caring for their residents, and had taken precautionary steps to ensure they could continue to deliver care in the event of unexpected lockdowns or outbreaks. Managers described examples of where staff had prepared to stay overnight to care for residents in the event of a sudden lockdown, or where staff members had stayed in temporary accommodation between shifts to minimise the spread of infection during the peak of the pandemic.
