During an inspection looking at part of the service

Chesterton Lodge is a residential care home providing accommodation and personal care to 42 people aged 65 and over at the time of the inspection. The care home accommodates up to 64 people in one adapted building across three floors.

We found the following examples of good practice.

The provider followed government guidance for visiting and had shared their visiting procedure with relatives. Visitors to the service were asked for their vaccine status and were required to complete a lateral flow test before entering the service

The provider had a contingency plan in place to ensure their were enough staff available to support people safely during periods of staff sickness.

The environment was well maintained and clean. Additional cleaning schedules had been implemented to lower the risk of cross transmission. There was enough PPE available and all staff were observed wearing the correct PPE in line with guidance.

Staff and people were regularly tested and had received COVID-19 vaccinations. Risk assessments had been completed to ensure people and staff in high risk groups were supported to remain safe.
