Points to consider
Staff get regular training and supervision plus some specialist topics like dementia awareness, but no funded qualifications or career paths.
One relative told us, 'The staff here have a good training programme.' We did note that the activities organiser... had not received specific training to enhance this role. Per 2018 comprehensive inspection.
Activities coordinator runs games, hobbies and seasonal trips, but old equipment and fewer outings in winter limit variety.
The activity organiser... 'some of my equipment is very old and not always appropriate... We don't do anything when it's winter though.' Per 2018 comprehensive inspection.
