Points to consider
Some agency workers cover sickness and short notice absences, so the team isn't always fully stable.
Staff sickness and short notice absences were covered by existing staff or agency staff workers. Where agency workers were used, the registered manager told us they tried to keep the same staff members...
Activities include regular trips and a weekly schedule but no specialist programmes or coordinator, so the role is varied but not exceptionally enriching.
People had a weekly activities schedule which was on display... staff supported people to access the community regularly. We saw pictures... zoo, museums, visited cafes and pubs, trips to the beach...
