Points to consider

People told us, 'I think there's enough (staff)'... 'We have enough staff, definitely.'
Staff get the training they need plus regular check-ins with managers, but no extra courses or qualifications on offer.
They said they received the training they required and had the opportunity to speak with their line manager regularly.
Some activities keep things going, but no full programme or coordinator means most of the job is basic daily care.
