Points to consider
Only basic activities like chair exercises, games, and some outings with a coordinator, but lacking in some areas so the role is mostly routine personal care
Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: People's activities were planned... by the activities coordinator... 'We do chair exercises, dominoes... They take us out...' We observed activities were lacking in some areas
Staffing is enough to meet needs with a good skill mix, but no info on low agency use or stable long-term teams
