Read the rest of CQC's summary
We found the following examples of good practice.
Arrangements were in place for visitors to meet people in dedicated places within the service, to minimise the risk of infection transmission. The service had consulted with relatives to agree visiting arrangements in line with government guidance.
Visitors were asked health screening questions, temperatures were taken, visitors were also advised to sanitise their hands-on arrival and wear face masks. Lateral flow tests were carried out and once a negative result was received staff facilitated the visit.
Plans were in place to isolate people with COVID-19 to minimise transmission if required. The service had good supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as face masks and hand sanitiser, these were readily available at stations throughout the service.
Staff had received training on how to keep people safe during the COVID-19 pandemic and staff were regularly tested for COVID-19. Enhanced cleaning practices were in place and the building looked clean and free from clutter.
