What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 29 January 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
The Outwood is a 'care home'. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as a single package under one contractual agreement. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulates both the premises and the care provided, and both were looked at during this inspection. At the time of inspection there was 9 people at the service.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
We found the following examples of good practice. We saw clear infection prevention control (IPC) signs reminded everyone at the point of entry and throughout the home about procedures for infection control. We observed staff wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
The home was accessing regular testing for both staff and residents. The service was encouraging visitors, phone calls and skype to family and friends. Wellbeing was high on the services agenda throughout the outbreak for people they support. For example, one person went out to a remote walking place with a staff member for fresh air and space. People also had access to a shop which was made up in the service where people could purchase items and pay for these. The service managed to find and create ways of working throughout the pandemic to make as little disruption to people's routines as possible.
The service was clean and uncluttered the service completed four daily cleaning touch points in the service to minimise the spread of infection.
