Staffing Levels
6/10

8/10

Programmes
6/10
✓
The provider had a planned programme of activities to optimise people's social stimulation. Additionally, children from a local primary attended the home to provide intergenerational interaction.
Points to consider
Staffing levels are enough to get by but nothing extra, so you might feel rushed at times.
People and relatives commented staff supported them in a timely way. One person told us, 'On the whole definitely yes.' A relative added, 'Yes I do think there is enough staff.'
There is an activities coordinator with events like school visits, but the role is still mostly routine care without specialist creative programmes.
There was a list of planned activities and events on the notice board intended to optimise people's social stimulation. A relative said, 'The activities co-ordinator is so good she is like a "Red Coat" entertainer.'
