At Oakbank Care Home, we think it's essential to encourage all of our residents to get involved in new activities and unleash their creativity in more ways than one. We provide a supportive community for all, boosting confidence alongside new opportunities for residents to express their creativity amongst the company of others. Each session is personalised to cater to the individual's interests, with the goal of inspiring and motivating those who choose to participate. We are proud to offer a sensory room within Oakbank Care Home, dedicated to enlightening the senses of those with conditions such as cerebral palsy, visual and hearing impairments and dementia. The coloured lights in the dark room, soft music and objects, and distinctive sounds make up the room. Our sensory room provides our residents with a relaxing environment, as well as helping the development of communication skills and improved focus.
