Recommendation 1

1. To ensure people get the most out of life, a review of activities should be undertaken. Activities should be person centred, of interest and relevant to the person participating. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which states that: 'I can maintain and develop my interests, activities and what matters to me in the way I like.' (HSCS 2.22).

Recommendation 2

1. To ensure a safe and appropriate environment, the provider should undertake an environmental assessment using guidance such as the ‘King’s Fund’ tool for people living with dementia. The actions identified in this should be progressed timeously. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which states that: 'I experience an environment that is well looked after with clean, tidy and well maintained premises, furnishings and equipment.' (HSCS 5.22); and 'My environment is secure and safe.' (HSCS 5.17).

Recommendation 3

2. To ensure a consistent, clean and tidy environment, the provider should review the current domestic arrangements. Staff should be clear about their specific responsibilities in regard to housekeeping and be carrying out these as expected. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which states that: 'I experience an environment that is well looked after with clean, tidy and well maintained premises, furnishings and equipment.' (HSCS 5.22).
