There’s no typical day at The Lindsay, but we arrange plenty to do, both here at the home as well as out and about. We believe it’s #NeverTooLate We help to make residents’ long-held wishes come true, or to tick something off their ‘bucket list’. We’ve helped them hold an art show, milk a cow, have a pamper day and go to the football! Getting out and about We like to arrange trips to wherever residents would like to go, and so we share a minibus with another Bupa home nearby for trips to the seaside, boat trips, and shopping. Lots of special interests With our Knit and Natter group, gardening, bowling, darts, pottery, art, and cookery, there is lots for the residents to do. Our own library and cinema Residents are encouraged to keep up their enjoyment of books, and a great way to have peaceful moments. Movie showings bring people together, and family and friends are always invited. We have computers for residents and their family to use. |
