The inspector found that while large parts of the centre were seen to be homelike, well-furnished and clean, particular areas required improvement from an IPC perspective.

It found improvement was needed across a range of areas including having monitoring systems in place to identify all IPC issues, a review of the centre’s contingency plan was also needed and some PPE being used had passed its expiry date.

The inspector also noted that staff members demonstrated a good awareness around IPC practices and COVID-19.
