'I think there are enough staff, but I feel sometimes staff are pressed and rushing around'
Some activities like walks and garden time with a wellbeing lead, but nothing specialist or innovative.
The service had a dedicated wellbeing lead to facilitate social interaction and activities... staff were observed to accompany people on a walk, to enable people to access the garden
Good training including specialist but not all staff get regular one-on-one supervisions.
Not all staff had received regular formal supervision. However... this would improve in due course.
