We found the following examples of good practice.

The provider had ensured there was a plentiful supply of personal protective equipment and we saw staff used this appropriately. Cleaning and disinfection products had been changed to meet the new infection control advice.

Risk assessments had been completed protect people and any staff who may be at higher risk and measures were in place to support them. Staff were supported by regular information and the option of accessing wellbeing support.

People were provided with information on areas of keeping healthy and well in a range of formats which included written and visual information.

Activities within the service had been increased and promoted to reduce people's risk of isolation.

Visitors had initially been discouraged by the provider. However, there was now a system in place to enable visiting to be completed in a safe way.

Visits by professionals were well planned in advance. Visiting staff were prompted to observe social distancing, the regular changing of personal protective equipment and disinfection of equipment between each person being tested.
