Programmes
5/10
!
Activities were provided to support people's physical and mental health. We saw a number of people chose to sit with the activities coordinator doing jigsaws and chatting. The activities co-ordinator also visited people in their room to provide companionship.
Points to consider
Only basic activities like jigsaws and chats with the coordinator, so the role stays mostly routine personal care.

Staffing is adequate but nothing special, with no details on stable team or low agency use.
Rotas showed there were enough staff to meet people's identified needs.
Only standard training and supervision now after recent fixes, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.
Following the last inspection, the provider had reviewed the training they provided to staff. They were working with a new training provider and had implemented monitoring.
