Read the rest of CQC's summary
We found the following examples of good practice.
The care home was well ventilated and for those areas that could not be ventilated such as long corridors, an air exchanger had been purchased and was in use.
Some furniture had been replaced so it could be washed or cleansed more readily. A steam cleaner had been purchased to enhance the deep cleaning of bedrooms that were vacated. All areas of the home were visibly clean and there were cleaning schedules in place. The frequently touched points cleaning schedule had been revised to make it more relevant to each area to which it pertained.
The registered manager had worked well with public health officials, the local authority and infection prevention and control leads. The service had a dedicated staff lead for infection prevention and control who also supported staff training.
