Programmes
5/10

Each person had their own planned activities... cooking and crafts and involvement in sporting activities. One person enjoyed swimming. People went out for walks and to shop.
Points to consider
Activities are basic individual ones like crafts, swimming, and outings with no dedicated coordinator, so the role includes more routine personal care.
