We found the following examples of good practice.
Robust infection control policies, procedures and systems were in place.
Visitors were carefully screened for COVID-19. Visitors were required to have their temperature taken and a negative lateral flow test. Where it was appropriate to do so, the service checked visitors' vaccination status.
Staff wore appropriate PPE and there were ample supplies throughout the home. Staff and people were part of a regular COVID-19 testing programme.
Staff had received infection control training. The provider had a comprehensive infection control policy, and the registered manager was knowledgeable about current guidance and best practice.
People had COVID-19 care plans and risk assessments. Additional measures were implemented to minimise the risk of infection for people who were particularly vulnerable to COVID-19.
The service was clean, tidy and well maintained. There was a cleaning schedule and the registered manager carried out regular infection control audits to ensure a high standard was maintained.
