A representative of the landlord New Dimensions was visiting the home at the time of the inspection and explained that preparations are in hand to fit a new kitchen. Residents’ bedrooms were seen. Two residents were keen to show how they have personalised their rooms with souvenirs, photograph displays, ornaments, music listening equipment and collections of movie DVDs. One person has a computer in his or her bedroom, which he or she was observed using. Bedroom door keys are provided to residents.
