What the CQC found at Eden Mansions Nursing Home
Rated Good: inspectors found the home performing well and meeting their expectations.
What inspectors found, March 2021
Inspected but not rated; inspectors found good infection control arrangements at Eden Mansions Nursing Home.
This was a targeted, announced inspection on 24 February 2021. It looked only at infection prevention and control measures in a separate area being used as a designated care setting for people discharged from hospital with Covid-19.
Inspectors found separate access, clear bathroom arrangements, screening before entry, suitable visiting controls, good cleaning plans and enough personal protective equipment. Staff and residents were taking part in regular testing and vaccination.
The service was inspected but not rated. This means the visit was not a full assessment of the home and no overall quality rating was given.
Separate designated area
The area had a separate entrance and had been refurbished. Bedrooms and shared bathrooms were clearly arranged for this setting.
“The setting had a separate entrance. The setting had been refurbished, providing three bedrooms which had access to private ensuite facilities.” from the report
Cleaning and hygiene
Inspectors found the environment clean and hygienic. Cleaning plans included the frequency of cleaning high-touch areas.
“The environment was clean and hygienic, and the service had an infection control and prevention lead.” from the report
PPE and staff training
The home had enough PPE and staff had been trained in its correct use, infection control and handwashing. Checks were also carried out.
“National guidance was followed on the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the service had sufficient stock.” from the report
Screening and testing
