Points to consider
Staff numbers are adequate but there were some delays answering call bells until recently fixed by adding more staff.
Some people and their family members told us they had experienced some delays in responses to call bells... since the registered manager returned from extended leave staffing levels had been increased to resolve the issues.
Activities follow a regular weekly plan with a coordinator but no specialist or innovative programmes mentioned.
Two staff members were employed to support people to engage in activities and there was a weekly programme set out... group activity with an activity co-ordinator... forthcoming trip to buy Christmas presents.
