Events and activities are hugely enjoyed across the Randolph Hill Group and our dedicated team, full calendar and the availability of our own minibus ensures that the level of participation is high. We offer person-centred care here at Kirk Lane, so it’s all about tailoring our activity calendar to the needs and wants of our residents, whether that’s day trips in the local area, events in the home, or group hobbies and activities. We have something for everyone, whether they want to indulge in a life-long hobby with new friends or learn a completely new skill – it’s never too late to embrace something! We believe in focusing on what our residents can do, rather than what they can do, so our activities are not obligatory, but we do encourage all of our residents to take part for their mental and physical health and wellbeing. |
