Beaufort View

Beaufort View is registered to accommodate up to eight people. At the time of our inspection there were eight people living in one adapted building in a residential area of Southbourne, Bournemouth.

We found the following examples of good practice.

Beaufort View had a clear, detailed procedure for entering the building. There was an area for putting on and taking off Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), taking temperatures and asking questions about health and wellbeing. There were hand washing facilities throughout the home including hand sanitisers and infection control stations on all floors which meant that staff had access to PPE when needed.

Cleaning schedules had been increased to include frequent touch points throughout the home such as door handles and switches. The home was clean and tidy, the communal areas had been reviewed to remove all non essential items to reduce the risk of infection. The home supported people to keep in touch with their loved ones by providing video calling and some 'drive by' visits to family using social distancing.

People and staff had their own individual risk assessments in place which detailed their health concerns and procedures were in place to reduce risks where possible. The home kept informed with information about how to keep people safe. Staff training in infection prevention and control was up to date and there had been additional training provided in how to use PPE safely. Staff worked well with people to ensure they were occupied and as active as they could be.
