Points to consider
Staffing is adequate but vacancies mean agency workers cover some shifts.
The registered manager told us there were some vacant posts but they were in the process of recruiting. They explained that agency staff were used to cover for vacancies or absences if permanent staff were not able to cover themselves.
Activities are basic group things like bingo, quizzes and crafts, so the role stays mostly routine personal care.
