there were some out of date medicines that were stored in a cabinet without a locking device inside the office. We discussed this with the registered manager, who took steps to dispose of these medicines in the immediate aftermath of our inspection.
No activities coordinator or structured programme, just basic outings to the cinema, shops and pub, so the job lacks variety beyond personal care.
These included attending day services, going to restaurants and the cinema. A person told us, “I go out to Romford, I eat out, I go to the cinema. I go to buy my food.”
