!
There was some evidence of basic activities... jigsaw puzzles, walking out in the garden and a ball game... not all people were noted to be undertaking activities during the inspection.
Points to consider
The job is mostly routine personal care with only basic activities like puzzles and garden walks on offer, and not everyone joins in.
Evidence of activities provided were recorded however, not all people were noted to have access to activities during the inspection.
Staffing is enough most of the time but uses some regular agency workers, and a few residents say it's not always enough.
