Programmes
4/10
!
During our visit people told us about some of the activities they took part in both within the service and in the wider community.
Points to consider
Only basic outings and day trips, no dedicated activities coordinator or structured programme so shifts can feel routine and boring at times.
A more structured/planned time would certainly benefit my [family member's] stay. It can be a bit boring at times.
Staffing is adequate to meet needs but nothing special, no mention of stable long-serving team or minimal agency use.
There were enough staff to keep people safe and to meet their care needs.
