What inspectors found

There had been significant improvements following the inspection of 15 September 2021. Positive changes had been made to infection control measures. Staff wore face masks appropriately in line with the latest guidance. The shortfalls identified with masks had been dealt with by the registered manager. The staff involved had been spoken with and all staff had been retrained in how to safely wear masks. The systems for monitoring the home and short falls in the staff practice had improved. Spot checks were carried out of staff to check person protective equipment was worn safely. We were assured by the infection, prevention and control measures.
