Activities

We employ a team dedicated to ensuring that all of our residents are able, should they wish, to participate in a wide range of enjoyable and stimulating activities. Some activities are undertaken in groups whilst some residents prefer a one to one session.

A selection of weekday activities can be seen below:

  • Quizzes
  • Interactive TV- we found this very popular among our residents. They play games and have skype calls with their loved ones on this, this is a screen on wheels and could be taken to residents rather than residents coming to the TV.
  • Gardening
  • Cinema Club
  • Book corner
  • Bus trips
  • Art
  • Karaoke
  • Once a month- tea afternoon with entertainment
  • Manicures and pampering session
