We found the following examples of good practice.
● Staff, relatives and healthcare professionals were required to follow strict processes to enter the home to prevent the introduction of infection. ● A nominated relative could book a slot to visit their family member in line with the new Government visiting directive. ● The use of single occupancy bedrooms, social distancing and where possible good ventilation reduced infection risk. ● Systems in place ensured people would be admitted safely to the home to prevent the risk of infection entering into the home. ● Stocks of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) were ample for staff, visitors and people to use. ● COVID-19 tests were carried out three times a week for staff and monthly for people to identify if there were any COVID-19 cases. ● Robust cleaning regimes ensured the risk of infection transmission was reduced. ● The staff had received a range of infection prevention training that included, COVID-19 specific training and Test and Trace COVID-19 testing training. ● The provider's Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) policy had been reviewed regularly to capture any new government guidance.
