Points to consider
Staffing is adequate with enough on shifts to keep safe, but some new starters show turnover and no extra for unhurried care.
Per 2017 comprehensive inspection: 'Staffing levels are all right... We have some new staff starting in a week. There is always two on every shift'
Activities offer variety like outings and learning groups but no dedicated coordinator or specialist therapeutic programmes.
