Programmes
5/10
!
People had opportunities to take part in activities within the service, however the management team had identified this to be an area for improvement to promote a holistic approach to care and to improve people's quality of life.
Points to consider
The activities programme is basic with a coordinator running simple games, but managers say it needs improving so shifts can feel routine.
People had opportunities to take part in activities within the service, however the management team had identified this to be an area for improvement to promote a holistic approach to care and to improve people's quality of life.
Staffing is enough to meet needs without waits, but some new staff are still learning residents' needs even with shadowing.
People stated recently recruited staff were not always familiar with their needs, however acknowledge they worked alongside experienced staff.
