Programmes
4/10
!
Per 2020 comprehensive inspection: People's access to organised activity was limited. The service employed an activities coordinator for three days per week.
Points to consider
Activities are limited to a part-time coordinator and monthly events, so most shifts are routine personal care with little variety.
People's access to organised activity was limited. The service employed an activities coordinator for three days per week and each month the home hosted an event with singers or entertainers.
Managers saw from surveys that people were unhappy with activities but did not create an action plan to fix it.
The provider's analysis of the January 2020 resident survey showed they identified 33% of respondents were not interested in the activities available at the home but this did not lead to an action plan.
Staffing meets basic needs but care often feels task-focused with some delays in support.
interactions with people tended to be task-led. During the inspection we identified one instance where staff support was not timely.
