Programmes

Per 2020 comprehensive inspection: Pre COVID-19, range of social activities like garden parties and arts and crafts; reduced due to COVID restrictions, now garden time and one-to-one.
Points to consider
Just basic activities like arts and crafts and garden time, no dedicated coordinator or special programmes to vary the job beyond routine care.
Pre COVID-19 pandemic, people enjoyed a range of social activities... This had reduced due to COVID-19 restrictions in place... 'I am going to make Christmas decorations this morning, I like doing arts and crafts.'
