Read the rest of CQC's summary

We found the following examples of good practice.

The home was clean and tidy throughout. There was a cleaning schedule and this helped ensure the home was cleaned regularly including high touch points such as door handles and handrails.

People were supported to maintain contact with their family and friends. Visitors were able to visit people through an appointment system. A separate entrance for visitors had been created and they were supported to meet safely with their loved ones.

The testing program for people and staff was followed in line with government guidance. All visitors to the home, both family and professionals, were required to provide a negative test before entering. There was adequate supplies of PPE and this was available throughout the home.

Due to their dementia people were not always able to socially distance. The provider told us that during the outbreak staff would guide people through the home to minimise the risk of contact with others.
