Points to consider
There is an activities coordinator with games, outings and entertainers, but no specialist programmes or innovative approaches to enrich the working day.
Activities coordinators were employed to work at the home and the staff also facilitated activities. There were often outside entertainers brought into the home... people engaged in a game of dominoes... went on outings in the mini bus.
