Activities Are So Important

We take an interactive and holistic approach to activities, giving as much one to one simulation as possible alongside group activities. The activity co-ordinators are continually updating, planning and implementing new timetables throughout the year tailored to the personal lives and interests of our residents.

Activities not only mentally stimulate and physically motivate our residents but it also enhances their quality of life and wellbeing. Our staff have developed innovative ideas to encourage residents to engage in meaningful and varied activities, including sharing life stories to create ‘memory boxes’. Creative arts, games and reminiscence therapy are always well perceived. Organising entertainment from cinema afternoons and sing-alongs to arranging visits to local places of interest keeps our activity co-ordinators very busy.
