Information and instructions for visitors were displayed and explained in person by the receptionist. Staff were adhering to personal protective and equipment (PPE) and social distancing guidance.
People were supported to see their visitors in a separate glass room with separate entrances for visitors and residents and Perspex glass in the middle. When this was not possible, people were supported to speak to their families on the phone or via video call. The provider developed newsletters detailing events within the home to people's families.
The provider had an infection prevention and control policy that outlined the requirement for isolation rooms for people infected with COVID-19 and people admitted to the home from the hospital or the community.
The provider had ensured staff who were more vulnerable to COVID-19had a risk assessment in place, and where it was not safe for staff to be at work, they had a furlough scheme in place.
