During an inspection looking at part of the service

Shakespeare Court is a care home for people requiring personal and/or nursing care. The service has four units, but only two were open and occupied at the time of inspection. Across these two units there were 30 people living at the home. The service is registered for a maximum of 80 people.

We found the following examples of good practice.

The service had appropriate procedures in place for visiting, including checking of COVID-19 passports for visiting professionals.

The registered manager has facilitated visits for people during the pandemic, inclusive of remote video calls and onsite visits safely and regularly.

The service was clean and tidy throughout. There were robust cleaning schedules inclusive of high touch point areas, to promote safe infection control practices.

Staff had received all appropriate infection prevention and control training. This included the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and donning and doffing safely. Staff were observed to be wearing PPE correctly.

The registered manager had managed risks to people from outbreaks through appropriate isolation and separation of areas within the service.
