Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: dedicated activities coordinator with regular programme including intergenerational toddler group, community fete, bus trips, musicians, postcards of kindness.
Points to consider
No permanent manager in post, so leadership feels unstable even with provider stepping in.
At the time of our inspection there was not a registered manager in post. Efforts to recruit the right person for the role were ongoing.
Staffing levels are adequate but last-minute sickness was a recent challenge even though improved.
There had been challenges due to a high level of last-minute staff sickness. The provider was taking action to address this, and this had improved over recent weeks.
No current details on activities or coordinator, so the role might be mostly routine personal care.
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: A newly recruited activities co-ordinator was developing a person-centred activities programme.
