Activities
Living in residential care is not just about addressing the medical or clinical needs of residents. Very often residents will have enjoyed a full and active life prior to admission. We strive to bridge the gap between independent living and residential care by developing activities programmes that are both stimulating and enjoyable while at the same time focused upon improving the well being of residents. Some of the activities available across the group are…
- Music Sessions
- Poetry Reading
- Exercise classes
- Art classes
- Reminiscence therapy
- Hairdressing and beauty treatments
- Games
- Bridge
- Computer Classes
- Card games
- Bingo
- Library services
- Reading Circles
- Afternoon trips and outings
- Parties on birthdays and special occasions.
Programmes are constantly varied to provide our residents with an interesting and challenging range of activities. Residents have a direct input into the activities programme and other aspects of service delivery through their local residents committee. We also try to address the specific interests of individual residents by designing a bespoke programme of activities where practicable.
