There were raised flower beds to help people engage in gardening activities. There were bird feeders round the garden...
Points to consider
No activities coordinator or regular structured programme, so the role is mostly routine personal care.
No mention of dedicated activities coordinator, pet therapy, or multiple structured engagement activities beyond basic garden features.
Staffing is adequate with enough staff on shift, but nothing special like low agency use or great retention mentioned.
There was enough staff to meet people's needs. Relatives... felt there was enough staff on shift.
Only standard training like the care certificate, no specialist courses or funded qualifications mentioned.
