Recommendations
- Ensure the entrance door and bell is clearly signposted for visitors. Our team were unsure which door to use on arrival at the home.
- Consider sourcing external volunteers who could support quieter residents who may value 1:1 interactions and may not wish to partake in the larger, group activities on offer.
- Consider staffing levels over busier periods such as lunchtime to prevent delays in answering call bells, and moving residents from the first floor down to the dining room area.
