Points to consider
Staff numbers are enough overall but busy times mean residents sometimes have to wait for help.
One person told us they sometimes wait at the busier times of day, but it wasn't a problem and they have never needed to raise it as an issue.
Just basic events like seasonal parties and decorations, so the job is mostly routine care with little variety.
