Programmes
4/10
!
Improvements were in progress to offer more social stimulation, including visits linked to music. Per 2019 comprehensive inspection
Points to consider
Just basic activities like birthday celebrations and music visits, no coordinator or specialist programmes to make the job more varied and fun.
'We often do things together and have a celebration of a birthday or a big day like the Royal Weddings.' Per 2019 comprehensive inspection
A few staff slipped up on wearing masks right and needed more PPE training, medication records had minor ongoing tweaks too.
we did observe one or two staff members not wearing masks appropriately and another eat food with their mask around their neck and then return their mask without changing it.
