Scorton Care Village

Scorton Care Village provides personal and nursing care for up to 114 people, including those living with dementia. The home has implemented thoughtful infection control measures during the inspection period. Staff supervised all essential visitors to ensure social distancing guidelines were followed, with visitors screened and asked tracking questions. People were supported to maintain contact with families through video calls and other applications. The provider worked closely with the local authority to plan for safe visiting arrangements going forward.

The home demonstrated strong awareness of current best practice guidance, communicating updates promptly to people, families and staff. Personal Protective Equipment was safely stored in designated stations throughout the service, reducing staff time spent putting on and removing PPE while minimising transmission risks. Some stations were portable to accommodate safety measures if an outbreak occurred.
