Enough staff to meet needs but they were still recruiting new people and managed COVID staff shortages.
Per 2017: 'they were continuously recruiting and had a new member of staff going through the recruitment process.' Per 2022: 'measures in place to mitigate the risks associated with COVID-19 related staff pressures'
No activities coordinator so the role mixes personal care with staff-led outings and home tasks like cooking and gardening.
Per 2017: 'People were involved in daily tasks around the home like cleaning, laundry, cooking and baking. Staff supported people to access the community and follow their interests.'
Training covers basics and supervisions but no specialist courses or funded qualifications.
