We found the following examples of good practice.
The provider had established effective infection prevention and control procedures which were understood and followed by the staff. All visitors including professionals were subject to checks to ensure an up to date lateral flow test and evidence of double COVID-19 vaccination was viewed before entry into the home.
There was a good supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) for staff and any visitors to use. Staff had received training on the use of PPE and we observed staff wearing it correctly during our inspection.
People living in the home were able to maintain contact with friends and family with visits either in the home or out of the home.
People's health and well-being was carefully monitored. A regular programme of testing for COVID-19 was in place for staff and people living in the home. This meant swift action could be taken when any positive results were received.
Daily cleaning schedules were implemented and these were enhanced with additional touch point cleaning.
