Willowdene Care Home

Willowdene Care Home provides residential and nursing care for up to 48 people aged 65 and over, including those living with dementia, across two floors. At inspection, 42 people were using the service. The home maintained adequate supplies of personal protective equipment in accessible stations throughout the building, with clinical waste bins positioned for staff access. Management implemented social distancing measures, including relocating the staff room to a larger space marked with two-meter squares as reminders, with separate storage areas for staff belongings to prevent cross-contamination.

Agency staff received information packs about the home's infection prevention and control procedures, with senior staff confirming their competency in hand hygiene and PPE use.
