We found the following examples of good practice.
The home was able to safely care for people who were positive for COVID-19 without placing other people at the home at risk. The unit was self-contained and had its own staff team which helped to reduce the risk of the spread of infection.
Effective infection control systems were in place and these were understood and followed by staff. The home was clean and fresh and there was regular wiping down of touch points and equipment. Visiting arrangements followed current government guidance. Hand sanitiser and personal protective equipment (PPE) was readily available in the home and there were sufficient supplies of PPE. People and staff took part in the home's COVID-19 testing regime, which followed current government guidance. Appropriate processes were in place should anyone display any symptoms of COVID-19.
