They are written in plain language, easy to understand and consider all areas of individual`s lives including health, personal and social care needs. Residents are able to enjoy a full and stimulating life style with a variety of options to choose from. The home employs a full time activities co-ordinator (who is also a Registered Mental Nurse) and two activities assistants. They are responsible for creating meaningful activities and experiences both in the home and the wider community. Food is considered to be highly important and meal times considered a social occasion. Mealtimes are relaxed enabling residents` time they need to finish their meal at their own pace. Staff were seen to give assistance in a discrete and sensitive manner to those residents who need help to eat. Cooks and kitchen assistants valued as members of the staff team an are in the process of completing National Vocational Qualifications.
