- Quiet, low-key options for anyone who'd rather not join a group activity.
- External entertainer once per week (Singer, exercises, even magician).
- Therapy dog visit 2 per month.
- Board game group.
- Communion once per week.
- Monthly External speakers about historical interests.
- Crafts.
- Flower arranging.
- Baking.
- Quiz.
We also do a pamper day on Thursday including nails.
Activities For Residents' Needs & Entertainment
Activity programme runs Monday – Friday 10-4. Sunday we do film and tipple trolley for those who enjoy a tipple. March – October, we aim to plan trips out to the local market, theatre, nature reserves, cabaret lunches & bingo, animal parks.
Whilst we encourage social interaction, we also respect residents individual wishes not to partake in all activities. We ensure residents are aware of the activities taking place that day and will be supported to attend or join in If they wish to do so.
Religion is well respected and any support will be given to maintain contact with their local church and maintain their faith. We have great relationships with St Anne’s catholic church, St Michaels C of E church and Christ Church C of E church.
When the weather allows, we encourage as much outside living as possible with facilities to offer outside dining, seated areas around the gardens and plenty of fresh ai with bifold and French doors throughout the building.
