Points to consider
Activities include music, quizzes and shopping trips but no specialist programmes to make the role more varied and fun.
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: I like the activities - music, singing, quizzes. When the weather is nice they bring us tea on the patio."
The manager supports staff well enough but shows no hands-on leadership or fresh ideas beyond standard practices.
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: Staff said they felt supported by the registered manager and had access to training to enable them to support the people that lived there.
