We found the following examples of good practice.
The management and staff team supported people and their relatives to understand the policies and procedures surrounding protection against COVID 19, the isolation processes and how the service could help them to keep people safe.
Social media systems such as mobile phones and computer systems were used to facilitate contact between people and their relatives.
During our visit we observed the staff using Personal Protective Equipment, (PPE) safely. The registered manager told us sufficient stocks of PPE were available and we confirmed this on the visit. A staff member said, "We have plenty of PPE always available."
People living in the home and staff were tested regularly for COVID-19. There were no staff employed who had not been vaccinated as now required.
Relatives we spoke with told us their relations were well cared for and protected from the risk of infection. One person said "We visit regularly and feel the testing and precautions in place were appropriate. We feel safe and they are keeping [Name] safe."
