We found the following examples of good practice.
Visitors had their temperature taken, completed a health questionnaire and wore personal protective equipment (PPE).
The home had an ample supply of PPE. All staff had received training in the correct use of PPE, and how to take it off and put it on safely.
People were supported to have regular contact with their families and friends via video calling and telephone calls. One person was also receiving window visits from a family member. The registered manager also kept in contact with people's families.
Whole home testing was carried out for both people living in the home and staff on a regular basis. If anyone had symptoms of COVID-19 they were tested immediately and isolated until the results were received.
Cleaning of the home, including frequently touched surfaces, had increased to reduce the risk of transmission of infection. There were ample supplies of cleaning equipment. People living in the home were also involved in the cleaning.
