Points to consider
Staff levels are sufficient but they use bank staff to cover holidays and sickness, and are recruiting more to boost evening shifts.
Per 2017: they were able to managing staffing levels using a bank of temporary staff who knew people well, at times of holiday and sickness. Per 2020: planning to provide increased staffing levels in the evenings in the near future.
No activities coordinator or specialist programmes, so the role mixes routine care with staff-led outings, hobbies and trips.
No mention of dedicated activities coordinator or named specialist programmes in either report.
