Read the rest of CQC's summary
Oakenshaw House is an older detached property set in its own grounds. The home is part of a wider service provision which includes a day care facility, respite care and supported living.
We found the following examples of good practice.
The provider was following best practice guidance in terms of ensuring visitors to the home did not spread COVID-19. Staff were adhering to personal protective equipment (PPE) guidance and practices.
Communal areas were well spaced and people, with support from staff were encouraged to maintain social distancing and use face masks in the community where required. Clear plans were in place for those who may be required to self-isolate. For those people who may struggle with isolation additional support would be provided.
Residents were encouraged and supported to participate in activities in the community and where they wished to leave the home to stay with relatives, where it was safe to do so this was facilitated and clear protocols were in place when they returned to minimise the risk of COVID-19.
Staff continued to support people to access healthcare, and arrangements were in place should people need to attend hospital safely.
