Activities

Each home has a wellbeing coordinator who will discuss your personal preferences with you. Some homes have more sociable activities and a residents’ social committee, while others are quieter and residents prefer individual activities such as reading or watching films, but you always have a choice.

All homes have a mix of shared social spaces, and quiet corners for privacy and peace.

STAYING IN
All our care homes have good links to local churches and schools or nurseries, and residents enjoy concerts and art and crafts activities with visitors. We also celebrate birthdays and seasonal occasions such as Christmas, Halloween and Easter, and hold summer garden parties at some homes. Friends and family are warmly welcomed.

We also have favourite animal visitors and therapets, and activities that encourage conversation, such as reminiscence and conversation balls.

If you have a special hobby you love, such as painting, music or crafts, we’ll do our best to support you. Our chefs help with edible crafts such as baking and cake decorating, and physical activities such as chair yoga are also offered.

GOING OUT
Residents are supported to go on outings, depending on the home’s location, with popular trips including shopping, garden centres, theatre, galleries, pubs, the seaside and even a barge cruise at Ratho.

Some residents enjoy meeting friends in the nearby community and go to tea dances and day centres. Others are supported to keep up with personal interests such as the local library, or going to rugby matches.

Whatever your interests and personality, we get to know you as an individual, and find out how we can support your wishes to ensure you enjoy life in your new home.

To find out more, feel free to contact the individual home managers for more information or contact us direct.
