!
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: Many varied activities were provided for people both in and outside of the service. There was a plan of activities which was displayed for each person each day.
Points to consider
No dedicated activities coordinator or specialist programmes, just staff-led outings, day centres, and community access, so the role is mostly routine personal care.
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: There were activities provided for people by staff at the houses, in the community and at day centres, which people visited through the week.
Some vacancies covered by agency staff, even long-term ones, rather than a fully permanent stable team.
