Programmes
4/10

We have made a recommendation regarding the provision of activities at the home. Professional feedback also highlighted concerns around the lack of activities taking place.
Points to consider
Little activities programme or coordinator, so the role is mostly routine personal care with few chances for creative engagement.

Staffing is adequate but nothing special, with no info on low agency use or easy workloads to allow unhurried care.
