Each home has an activities coordinator who organises a wide ranging programme of activities.
We are keen to tailor activities programmes to the interests and hobbies of individual residents. Many activities take place in small groups, but we also arrange activities on a one to one basis to ensure everyone has the opportunity to take part in something which they find interesting and stimulating.
Our facebook page is full of photos highlighting a variety of activities from around the homes. We always welcome new suggestions and ideas so please get in contact with the home manager or activities teams if you have any suggestions or questions.
INDOOR CARE HOME ACTIVITIES
From baking clubs to therapy animals, our care homes offer lots of activities to cater to the unique interests of our residents. The accessibility of our indoor activities support residents to participate as much as they like, regardless of mobility, ensuring an engaging and inclusive community. Whether you just want to watch from the side or you want to get stuck in, we have plenty of activities available, including:
For residents who may stay in their bedroom more often, due to personal choice or ill health, we tailor activities for them on a one to one basis to ensure they still get to do things they enjoy, such as board games or reading.
OUTDOOR CARE HOME ACTIVITIES
We have a range of outside activities available across our homes in our beautifully landscaped gardens or further afield with day trips out in the local area. We encourage and support our residents to get out and about to help encourage mobility and strength as well as boosting mental health. Some of our activities include:
We have a fleet of vehicles including a minibus, which facilitates our wide range of visits to local places of interest. All visits and trips are made with careful research and strict infection control protocols.
ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY
We are delighted to have strong links with local schools and colleges who regularly visit our homes and day care hub. We find these visits are very positive experiences for both the residents and students alike.
ACTIVITIES FOR PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA
We want all of our residents to be able to engage in activities that are fun and stimulating for them. Our staff take extra care to ensure activities are accessible and enjoyable for our residents living with dementia.
Whether it’s tailoring activities to the specific hobbies and interests of the resident or by breaking down activities into simple steps which are easier to understand, we’re committed to creating a community that is fun for everyone.
