The Mews is a service which provides accommodation, personal care and nursing care and provides care and support to young people with disabilities. It comprises of three units situated over four floors. It is built on the side of a hill and terraced, which means all floors have direct access to outside areas. Nursing care is provided by qualified nurses who are supported by care assistants. The service has 50 single bedrooms and at the time of our inspection there were 47 people living in the service.

We found the following examples of good practice.

The provider was following best practice guidance in terms of ensuring visitors to the home did not spread COVID-19. Staff were adhering to personal protective equipment (PPE) guidance and practices.

Communal areas were well spaced and people, with support from staff were encouraged to maintain social distancing. Clear plans were in place for those who were required to self-isolate, and arrangements were in place for telephone or video contact with relatives. For those people who struggled with isolation additional support was provided.

The provider had created a safe visiting area within the home to allow people to see and speak to their friends and relatives. The room was well-ventilated and cleaned between visitors. For those who were nursed in their own rooms there were also clear visiting arrangements in place.

Residents were encouraged and supported to participate in activities in the community. Where they wished to leave the home to stay with relatives, where it was safe to do so, this was facilitated and clear protocols were in place when they returned to minimise the risk of COVID-19 entering the home.

Staff continued to support people to access healthcare, and arrangements were in place should people need to attend hospital safely.
