Points to consider
The activities coordinators are part-time and sometimes there's nothing for residents to do, so your shifts might feel more routine.
there was a lack of things for people to do during our inspection... arrangements would be made to provide alternate activities when activity coordinators were on leave.
Nursing staff don't have a formal supervision system set up yet, even though care staff do.
no formal system to provide these staff with clinical supervision. We recommend the provider... reviews current guidance to ensure... suitable systems... to provide staff with appropriate supervision.
