Our accredited Activities Co-ordinator, is passionate about creating a varied and engaging activities calendar designed to appeal to all our residents, regardless of ability. A great deal of time is spent with residents from playing games and holding quizzes, to writing letters and providing shopping services for residents both locally and online. Recently a mobile shop has been introduced. This offers a few essentials and treats and is enjoyable and convenient for residents.

 

Our regular activities include Uno, Scrabble, Quadropot and Bingo, keep-fit and a weekly choir session with our wonderful friends from Mindsong http://www.mindsong.org.uk/

Many of our more active residents enjoy regular trips out of the home. Trips out are an important part of an active social life, which our residents should continue to enjoy even though they are in residential care.  They provide a cultural and social experience and a change from the home setting. We ran a sponsored walk and applied for grants and managed to fund a new minibus!

The types of trips you can expect include:

  • Meals out
  • Local points of interest
  • Cultural
  • Retail therapy
