Through consultation with residents, the home plans a rolling programme of upgrading the home.

The same resident attends an arts group and will perform at the local Arts Center. Another resident has very limited communication skills. The home have developed for him a daily recording sheet which tracks the activities he has done during the day and how he has reacted to them.
