Inspectors have urged staff at a Birnam care home to do all they can to keep the risk of infection at a minimum after visiting the home in the midst of an outbreak of COVID-19 earlier this month.
The Care Inspectorate made a requirement that management at Rivendell House ensure cleaning and infection control practices are being carried out “effectively” by mid-March after noting concerns staff had failed to complete cleaning schedules and audits on some occasions.
The government agency also recommended staff come up with ways of communicating better with each other after being made aware of instances where workers had not passed information about people’s health and wellbeing needs onto their colleagues.
