ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS

We invite our residents to socialise with one another as much as they wish and offer in-house facilities and activities to cater for all tastes. There are multiple shared spaces at the homes, both inside and outside, for all residents to enjoy alongside their own private bedrooms.

Our entertainment coordinators plan a broad range of events every month, and tailor all activities to the abilities and preferences of those who wish to participate.

Some of our residents’ favourites include group discussions about current affairs, crosswords & jigsaw puzzles, board games such as Scrabble and Chess, gentle exercise classes to music, stimulating Arts & Craft therapy sessions, cookery demonstrations, flower arranging, weekly religious services, and gardening classes. We also host an annual summer BBQ and Christmas party with delicious food on offer, which residents are always welcome to invite their friends and family along to.

Residents are free to travel out of the homes with family and friends as they wish, and we have our own wheelchair accessible minibus and driver for regular resident outings.

We are always looking for feedback from our Residents and regularly host “Residents’ Views” meetings, where they can put forward suggestions and have a say in the running of the homes, and air any concerns.
