New effective manager in place applying to register, positive staff and resident feedback on improved atmosphere (per 2019 comprehensive inspection)
Varied structured programme with bingo, quizzes, music, gardening, outings, minibus trips, increased activity staff, weekly schedules (per 2019 comprehensive inspection)
Staff numbers cover personal care needs but get stretched so social time is limited and baths sometimes delayed.
Staffing levels were safe and met people's care needs but we found that not enough staff were consistently available to facilitate everyone's social needs... on occasion peoples scheduled bath would be postponed until staff levels enabled this to happen.
Activities include bingo, quizzes, gardening and trips but no specialist programmes or innovative approaches to vary the working day.
People spoke of a varied and interesting access to social activities... bingo... quiz... gardening group... organised regular trips out... observations... people in their rooms spent long periods of time not socially engaged.
