Glyntown Care Centre

Staffing

There were adequate numbers of nursing and care staff on duty to meet residents' needs. However, housekeeping staff numbers reduced to one at weekends, which was insufficient to maintain cleaning standards.

Activities

A variety of social activities including yoga, meditation, and relaxation were provided Monday to Friday by a dedicated activities coordinator. Some residents chose to stay in their rooms and were encouraged to engage in activities. Weekends lacked scheduled activities, which residents noted.

Food

Residents enjoyed wholesome, nutritious meals with choices available at every meal. Special diets were catered for. Residents who needed assistance with meals were helped, but some ate in the sitting room rather than the dining room, missing the social dining experience.

Dementia

Some residents with dementia appeared relaxed and content, but the report does not mention a dedicated dementia unit.
