People were still living limited lives with no attempts to look at people’s ambitions, interests, and dreams. No work from the provider and managers were taking place to up-skill staff about this aspect of people’s care and lives. Staff, managers and the provider still had low expectations for people when it came to what might interest them and support them to live independent lives. Very little was happening to make life fun and interesting for people. When people expressed to staff, they would like to be more independent in some aspects of their lives, staff and managers took no action to support people to achieve this. Blanket daily routines, food options and outings remained. The provider was still not assessing this aspect of people’s care and lives.

Blanket routines remained which were group focused. No individual events took place. People's interests were sometimes known by staff, but no work was completed to support people to experience these or develop these interests.
