Stanborough Lodge

This care home accommodates up to 25 older people, with 21 residents living there at the time of inspection. The service has implemented strong infection control procedures, including pre-arranged visits where visitors receive rapid COVID-19 tests, guidance, and personal protective equipment. The designated visiting area is cleaned between visits. Staff complete lateral flow tests before each shift, and all residents are tested for COVID-19 every four weeks. PPE stations are positioned throughout the building for easy access, and staff have received training in infection prevention and control and safe PPE use.

The service follows a careful admissions process that includes COVID-19 testing and isolation periods where required. These practices demonstrate the home's commitment to protecting residents and staff from infection while maintaining quality care.
