During a routine inspection
They said that the meals were nice and one person commented that the food was 'variable'. Two people said that the chef came in and informed them about meal options for the day. One person said that the brochure talked about a menu, however they had not seen any menus.
They said that they waited for the staff to come in and help them with their personal care and did not call for help as the staff were busy.
People said that they liked their bedrooms and they were offered the opportunity to bring with them small items of personal belongings on admission.
All the people we spoke to told us that there was no activity available and they spent most of their time in their rooms. One person said that they came and sat in the lounge 'but there is never anyone around.'
