Training & Dev
7/10

6/10

Programmes
5/10
!
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: Individual activities were provided as part of people's care package. The manager gave numerous examples of how the service was able to facilitate people's choices and interests whilst receiving support at the home, such as café visits, art and church.
Points to consider
An interim manager was running the home because the regular manager was off on long-term absence.
At the time of our inspection the registered manager was on long-term absence. However, the service was being overseen by an interim manager until the return of the registered manager.
Only individual basic activities like outings to cafes, art and church, no dedicated coordinator or structured programme to add variety to the working day.
Individual activities were provided as part of people's care package.
