Programmes
4/10
!
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: People told us they did not always have enough to do. There had been a member of staff employed to ensure people had a wide range of activities to engage in. However, they had very recently left the service and people told us they missed them.
Points to consider
The activities coordinator left recently, so the job is mostly routine care with basic stuff like bingo and quizzes.

Only standard training, with some courses not up to date until after the inspection.

Staff numbers are enough but nothing special, no info on low staff turnover or no agency workers.
