Points to consider
No dedicated activities coordinator or structured programme, so the role is mostly personal care with some basic outings and interests.
People could take part in activities and pursue interests tailored to them.
Staffing is adequate to meet needs but nothing special, with no details on low agency use or long team retention.
The service had enough appropriately skilled staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe.
