We found the following examples of good practice.

The home had considered people's individual risks related to COVID-19 and had supported them to understand how to keep themselves safe in the home and in their community. The manager had a good understanding of capacity and helping people make decisions related to COVID-19, such as testing and vaccination.

The service had adapted activities for people to take place in the home during periods where their usual activities were affected by restrictions due to the pandemic, or where people didn't feel comfortable due to risks associated with COVID-19.

The service had supported staff through wellbeing initiatives. Staff had good training in place and the senior staff participated in local infection control meetings to ensure they got up to date information on managing risks.
