An activity program was in place based on people's interests. Activities included barbeques, group meals and outings, arts and crafts, pampering and movie nights. gardening project.
Points to consider
Activities are basic like arts, crafts, outings and gardening with no dedicated coordinator, so the role is mostly routine personal care.
Activities were provided by staff but one person told us they would like more on offer. The registered manager told us activities were being increased after they reduced during the pandemic.
Staffing is adequate but uses regular agency workers and has vacancies to fill.
There were enough staff to support people safely and regular agency staff were used who knew the home. Recruitment was taking place to fill vacancies.
