Programmes
6/10
✓

Points to consider
Staffing is adequate but nothing special, with no details on team stability or agency use.
There were sufficient numbers of staff to provide people with the support they needed. People and staff told us the number of staff was sufficient.
Activities offer variety like outings and crafts, but no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes to enrich the role.
Activities were chosen by people weekly and displayed on a pictorial activity board... horse riding, going out for lunch... cooking, swimming, bowling... music therapy, arts and crafts.
