Key Finding
"Supportive management and positive culture, but limited activities programme and basic outings hold it back."

/10
✕
This inspection did not cover the key question 'Is the service Safe', therefore no findings on safeguarding, risk management, medicines or incidents.

People had been able to celebrate wedding anniversaries at the home and attend football matches with staff at Wigan Athletic. The home also had a number of links in the local community, for example dementia cafes.
Points to consider
Only basic outings and events like football matches and anniversaries, no regular activities programme or coordinator to vary the job.
