What inspectors found

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 12 November 2020. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

The service has remained Covid-19 free since the beginning of the pandemic. No residents or staff have contracted the virus. People and staff actively volunteered to engage in the whole home testing programme, which ensured all staff were tested weekly and people were tested monthly.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

The registered manager was committed to providing the best quality of life for people living at Wild Acres, whilst ensuring they were safe. To this end they had adopted a risk aware approach to support people to maintain contact with loved ones and those important to them, which had a significant impact on their health and wellbeing.

Visitors were effectively prevented from catching and spreading infection by staff who followed the provider's infection prevention and control (IPC) procedures. All visits were subject to the provider's clearly defined visiting policy. This document is reviewed monthly by the registered manager or more frequently if required. For example, at the time of inspection the registered manager had updated the policy to consider the recent Government guidance in relation to Tier1-3, Medium to Very High Alerts.

The Registered Manager had developed comprehensive visiting risk assessment plans for relevant parties (Next of kin/Representatives/Friends). These identified risks to the visitors, the service and explored innovative solutions to minimise these to support people to remain in contact.

All admissions to the home were carefully considered and planned to ensure people were admitted safely. Staff confirmed people had tested negative for COVID-19 before they were discharged from hospital. New admissions and people returning from hospital were supported to isolate in their room for 14 days, in line with guidance.

Staff used personal protective equipment (PPE) in line with guidance, implementing training provided by the home's IPC lead, to safeguard people using the service and staff.

Staff consistently engaged in conversation with people, to reiterate the reason for masks being worn. This provided reassurance to people when they were disorientated and confused.

Consistently thorough hygiene practice, robustly overseen by the designated cleaning and decontamination lead, promoted and maintained safety in the home.
