We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. This inspection was planned to check whether the provider is meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008.
As part of CQC’s response to care homes with outbreaks of coronavirus, we are conducting reviews to ensure that the Infection Prevention and Control practice was safe and the service was compliant with IPC measures. This was a targeted inspection looking at the IPC practices the provider has in place.
This inspection took place on 20 November 2020 and was unannounced.

About the service: Nazareth House is a ‘care home’, registered to provide accommodation and personal care for up to 66 older people. At the time of the inspection there were 43 people living in the home. Accommodation is located over three floors and facilities include four lounges, three dining rooms, one large function room and a large garden area.
We found the following examples of good practice.
Social distancing was promoted by the placement of coffee tables between chairs in lounges.
Additional ventilation was provided by the opening of windows throughout the building.
Window visits were made more secure and accessible through the use of an intercom system.
