Key Finding
"Supportive management, good training and an open culture stand out, but basic activities and COVID staffing pressures hold it back."

Programmes
4/10
!
There were a range of activities provided to people and these included, exercises, musical entertainments, outside trips as well as other social in-house activities like reminiscing, card games or quizzes. (Per 2019 comprehensive inspection)
Points to consider
Staffing is adequate with enough on shift but COVID caused pressures needing extra measures to cover shifts.
The provider told us they had measures in place to mitigate the risks associated with COVID-19 related staff pressures.
Only basic activities like quizzes, exercises, music and occasional outings done by care staff with no dedicated coordinator, so mostly routine personal care.
People told us they liked the activities provided at the home, however these were not as regular as they would like... Staff are doing the activities and sometimes they have not got the time to do everything. (Per 2019 comprehensive inspection)
