People shared mixed views about the activities on offer. Some people expressed that they were not interested in participating in activities, others thought there could be more. On the day of our visit we saw people take part in a quiz and later in card bingo.
Points to consider
Activities are basic like quizzes and bingo, and some residents say they want more choice or don't always get to join in.
People shared mixed views about the activities on offer. Some people expressed that they were not interested in participating in activities, others thought there could be more. Occasionally they don't get me, so I find other things to do.
Staffing is enough to get by but one resident said it sometimes feels a bit short-staffed with slower buzzer responses.
Sometimes seems a bit short of staff. They are a bit slower coming, when I press the buzzer, than normal. But they are pretty good.
