Many thanks for your kind feedback. We take on board your comment about activities. It's been identified as an area we need to really improve, especially after this awful pandemic. We are in the process of implementing a plan to significantly improve activities inside and outside the home, bringing some much needed physical and mental stimulation to the residents.
