Points to consider
Staffing levels are sufficient but staff say they are just OK, with shifts covered by existing staff working extra hours.
One staff member commented, '[Staffing levels] are OK for the people that we have here at the moment.' Absence and sickness was mainly covered by existing staff working additional hours or by the 'on-call' management.
Activities are regular with some variety like arts, crafts and quizzes, but no specialist programmes or coordinator to make the role more creative.
Activities included arts and crafts, reminiscence, quizzes, arm chair exercises, music and pampering sessions.
