Points to consider
No permanent manager in place yet, just a deputy in the process of registering, so leadership oversight might not be fully stable.
There wasn't a registered manager in post but the deputy manager had completed paperwork to register with CQC and was waiting for an interview date.
Only basic activities like stone painting and occasional chair dancing mentioned or planned, no regular coordinator or varied programme, so the role is mostly routine personal care.
