4 / 5 ★
Would love to have use of a row machine or treadmill. Indoor bowls or darts might be good. No staff here at night- originally spoke of care units happening but no room. Worry about having to leave the island if more care needed.

To use email to contact residents of activities when someone leaves or is sick. A dedicated person assigned to new comers to help them adjust.

Management tired of job and it shows. Cuts back on facilities. No social activities for 2 months. Waiting for carpet due end of May. Not enough chairs to seat everyone. Sausage sizzle cancelled - a monthly event.
