Verulam House Nursing Home

Verulam House Nursing Home, in Hertfordshire, provides accommodation with personal care and nursing care for up to 50 people, including those with nursing needs. The home is rated Good overall. This particular visit was a targeted, unrated inspection focused solely on infection prevention and control during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Inspectors found the home was following government guidance on visiting, staff vaccination and testing, and had good supplies of protective equipment and staff training. The home was clean, though the CQC was not fully assured there was a robust system for monitoring cleaning of communal areas, and the provider was signposted to strengthen this approach.
