I think the staff are great but there are clearly not enough of them as I often see the residents just sitting in silence. While there are plenty of activities in the home in general, there are not enough staff to sit and talk to the residents, read with them, play dominoes etc. I'm sure the staff would like to have time to do this.

Nothing appears to be too much trouble.

The staff are polite and pleasant towards myself. An update of his general wellbeing is more difficult as his folder is rarely in his room and unless a senior is available, information is not shared.
Excellent care home.
