Programmes
5/10
!
We saw people engaged in a range of activities and staff showed an awareness of people's choices. One staff said, 'We have had extra staff to support activities, recently to start the jubilee activity'
Points to consider
No dedicated activities coordinator or specialist programmes, so the role is mostly routine personal care with some basic group activities added on.
One staff said, 'We have had extra staff to support activities, recently to start the jubilee activity and to spend more time with people.'
