1. In order to improve wellbeing of people experiencing care, the provider should ensure everyone is provided with regular opportunities to engage in activities and connections that are meaningful to them. This should include people who choose not to engage in group activities or who receive care and support in their rooms. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I can choose to have an active life and participate in a range of recreational, social, creative, physical, and learning activities every day, both indoors and outdoors' (HSCS 1.25).

1. To support people's independence, the provider should improve access to outdoor spaces whereby people experiencing care are able to freely and safely access enclosed garden areas. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I can use an appropriate mix of private and communal areas, including accessible outdoor space, because the premises have been designed or adapted for high quality care and support' (HSCS 5.1); and 'I can independently access the parts of the premises I use and the environment has been designed to promote this' (HSCS 5.11).

1. To support decision making and inclusion, the provider should ensure that personal plans are easily accessible and in a format that is meaningful to people experiencing care and/or their representatives. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I am fully involved in developing and reviewing my personal plan, which is always available to me' (HSCS 2.17); and 'I receive and understand information and advice in a format or language that is right for me' (HSCS 2.9).
