5/10
!
People told us they participated in a broad range of activities including arts and crafts, games and baking. Some people also enjoyed walking in the garden and local community. A member of care staff took the lead for activities.
Points to consider
Only basic activities like arts and crafts, games, and baking with no dedicated coordinator or special programmes, so the role stays mostly routine personal care.
