Activities to encourage positive wellbeing
The entertainment programme sets the home apart from other homes we considered. The dedicated entertainment staff do a great job of getting the residents involved in different activities and keeping them moving and engaging in something other than just sitting and watching TV. Overall, the staff all work hard and are friendly.”
Residents are also supported to spend time outside the home with family and friends whenever possible.
Our dedicated wellbeing facilitators deliver a diverse programme of stimulating activities throughout the week.
These include:
Activities are offered in both group settings and on a one-to-one basis, ensuring all residents can participate in a way that suits them.
Encouraging Personal Hobbies
We recognise the importance of maintaining personal interests and routines. Residents are encouraged to continue enjoying their hobbies, whether that includes knitting, painting, sketching, jigsaw puzzles, board games, crosswords, or simply relaxing with a book or newspaper.
Our team is always on hand to provide support and ensure each resident can continue to enjoy the activities that bring them comfort and enjoyment.
