"Good training and staff feeling valued, but stretched staffing, poor safety checks, and limited activities hold it back."

Feedback on activities was mixed. Some people reported feeling bored due to limited opportunities... no evidence that the activities provided reflected people’s wishes, hobbies, interests, and pastimes

no risk assessment had been completed [for diabetes]... no care plan or risk assessment outlining... dialysis... ‘high risk’ did not have an associated care plan or risk assessment

No proper activities programme or coordinator, just basic stuff like colouring or chair exercises, leaving people bored
Feedback on activities was mixed. Some people reported feeling bored due to limited opportunities... ‘Nothing. They [staff] give me colouring books.’... recruiting a group of volunteers to lead on activities
