Points to consider
Staffing is adequate even during COVID pressures, but staff had to work flexibly and go above and beyond at times.
Staff had worked flexibly and had gone above and beyond during a difficult situation to ensure people received safe care and support.
Varied activities like quizzes, music trips, and therapy classes add interest beyond routine care, but no named specialist programmes or innovations.
Group activities on offer were appropriate... quizzes and board games... I go out with staff to music concerts... individualised activity programmes... falls prevention class.
