Our whole approach, embraced by our fully-trained staff, is to encourage every resident to live the most fulfilled and valuable lives, focused on quality relationships for the well-being and happiness of all those who choose to live with us, and their families. We have strong ties to the local community and partnerships with others who help extend our range of services. We have regular visits from hairdressers, aromatherapists, nail technicians, masseuses, local faith groups, mobile libraries, etc. But the highlights of many residents’ weeks are the huge range of activities, exercise and excursions planned to add a daily dose of fun and stimulation: it can be a simple game of chair basketball; visits from local schools; a session of Kung Fu squash; or trips to the zoo, parks, or seaside! |
