Adequate staffing but they recently recruited more permanent staff to cut down on agency workers.
a recent survey notice 'You said, We did' stated that more staff had been recruited to minimise the use of agency staff to promote consist care.
Regular activities with two coordinators doing reminiscence, games and music, but no specialist or innovative programmes.
