Staff received training on proper use and disposal of personal protective equipment, with regular checks ensuring compliance. The service maintained adequate PPE stocks and stored them correctly.

The home conducted regular testing for people and staff in line with government guidance. Both residents and staff received support to self-isolate when appropriate, with the registered manager monitoring test results to track staff returns to work.
