Points to consider
Staffing is adequate to meet needs but night shifts have one awake staff and one sleeping which the provider is monitoring
The provider was monitoring the staff level at night to ensure it met people's needs
Only standard training like dementia care and induction with no specialist courses or funded qualifications
Staff induction procedures ensured they were trained in the areas the provider identified as relevant... Records showed staff had undertaken training to have the skills necessary
Varied activities like quizzes, music and trips but no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes
People had access to a range of group activities such as flexercercise, quizzes... A staff member employed two days a week undertook one to one time
