Gardening club with raised beds, regular visits from local nursery children, pets as therapy dog, own cat and guinea pigs, and events like Victorian Christmas.
Points to consider
Staffing is adequate with enough staff around, but they are still making improvements so it is not yet rock solid.
The service was making continual improvements to ensure there were enough staff to meet people's needs.
Activities include gardening, pet therapy, and school visits which add variety, but no specialist programmes or staff trained in advanced therapies.
I like to garden and they do have a gardening club here... 'pets as therapy' dog... children and staff from the local community nursery and school to visit.
