Points to consider
Staffing is adequate and consistent but they sometimes use agency staff when internal cover for holidays or sickness is not possible.
Per 2018: where possible any holiday or sick leave was covered by other staff rather than having to use agency staff. If this was not possible they used the same agency and tried to have staff that had worked at the home before.
Activities are varied with a coordinator including gardening, music therapy and dementia aids but no named specialist programmes like PARO therapy or measurable outcomes.
Per 2018: range of activities: flower arranging and gardening, picture bingo, music therapy and hand massage, dementia dolls, lifelike breathing cats and dogs and activity muffs, 'Bridging the Age Gap'.
