We found the following examples of good practice.
Staff were aware of the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) they needed to wear to keep people and themselves safe. There were several doffing and donning stations with Public Health England posters about correct order to put and take off the PPE. Staff were able to describe the right order and said there were always plentiful supplies.
All visitors were only allowed into the home once they had declared their health status, provided their contact details, completed a rapid COVID-19 test and had their temperature checked.
People were being supported to have visits from one designated family or friend into the service. This was done with testing of all individuals on each visit.
Staff supported people to maintain contact using video calls and phone calls. One person told us "Staff help me call my family when I ask."
The service had regular testing and had a good take up of staff and people receiving their first corona virus vaccine.
The home was clean and there were cleaning schedules to show that high touch points were being cleaned on a regular basis to help keep people safe. The registered manager said they were employing another cleaner to ensure that there was good cover across the seven days.
Staff had training and support to understand the fundamentals of infection control and COVID-19. There was a contingency plan for if the service had an outbreak
Staff were observed wearing PPE throughout the building and throughout the inspection. However, we did observe one or two staff members not wearing masks appropriately and another eat food with their mask around their neck and then return their mask without changing it. We fed this back to the registered manager who assured us they would ensure further PPE training would be put in place.
We advised on infection control within the laundry and following the inspection, the registered manager sent us evidence of lidded boxes being purchased for clean laundry.
