Points to consider
Staff numbers are enough to keep things safe, but no details on team stability or agency use to make shifts really reliable.
There were enough staff on duty to support the needs of people and keep them safe.
Some activities like bingo, quizzes and school visits happen, but no dedicated coordinator or special training makes the job more varied.
