6/10

Points to consider
Staffing is usually enough but they call in staff from a sister home when needed.
staff can be called on when needed from a sister home or the main part of the service, the Cherwell Centre.
Varied outings and crafts keep things interesting but no specialist programmes to make the role really stand out.
People had been on a tram, to the pub, bowling... making pottery, gardening... petting zoo.
