Read the rest of CQC's summary
We found the following examples of good practice.
The service were allowing limited visiting for those people who were on end of life care or for those people that it was having a detrimental impact on their wellbeing.
Any person entering the building had their temperature taken, washed their hands, completed a health questionnaire and wore full personal protective equipment (PPE).
People were supported by staff in full PPE, whether that person was COVID-19 positive or negative. This was to protect both staff and people living in the service from spreading infection.
The building was clean and free from clutter. The registered manager told us that there was frequent cleaning carried out throughout the day and that night staff carried out additional cleaning of communal areas.
Staff changed into their uniform at work and changed out of it before leaving the premises.
Whole home testing was in place for people, visitors and the staff.
