Points to consider
No registered manager fully in post yet, as the current one is still completing the process.
There was a manager for the service who was completing the process to become a registered manager in the service.
Basic activities like shopping trips, cinema outings, jigsaws and cooking, but no specialist programmes or dedicated coordinator.
I like going to the cinema and out shopping... one person was completing a jigsaw... listening to Christmas music... I make my drinks myself and help the staff with the cooking.
