Points to consider
Staff numbers are generally enough but some relatives say more help is needed early mornings and late evenings so shifts can feel stretched.
two relatives felt there was a need for more staff, especially in the early morning and late evenings, to provide care to people.
There is an activities coordinator running varied events like outings and entertainers, but nothing specialist to really enrich the working day.
We observed the activity co-ordinators undertaking group activities and one to one activities with people... reptiles... pantomime... sing-alongs... outings.
