ACTIVITIES

A wide range of activities is on offer with an emphasis on one to one attention. Each resident has an individual care plan where hobbies and interests are recorded. This enables care staff to engage residents in activities that are personalized.

It is now recognised that keeping dementia sufferers active is essential to help their well being. Activities range from simple arts and crafts, gentle exercise classes, to day trips for some or a cinema evening showing some of the old favourites. We help as much as we can with social interaction or in making sure residents can have as much quiet time as they need

Please come and visit us, meet the team and have a look at our homes. We can help you understand about residential care and dementia and the
limitations it brings and why full time professional care is best for everyone and we can help you through the minefield of funding.
