Social Therapy and Daily Activities

We understand that every person we care for has different tastes and abilities when it comes to their social calendar, so we try to avoid treating the residents as a homogenous group; instead, we enable residents to manage their own time and not be dictated to by a set communal timetable. Our fantastic social therapists provide a wide range of leisure and recreational activities such as coffee mornings, bingo, parties, outings (Saturday pub lunch is a particular favorite!), entertainers, and many more stimulating and smile inducing pursuits to help keep participation high.

Our hairdressers visit twice a week, we have a craft room, sensory stimulation equipment, outdoor seating areas and a private lounge ideal for residents to have more personal time with family and friends. We appreciate that not all residents will be able to participate in all the activities available every day so our therapists also enjoy regular one to one sessions with some residents.

We believe helping residents exercise choice and control over their lives is vitally important, so we enable residents to access external public services wherever possible, such as libraries and further education. We also actively encourage residents to take on roles of responsibility both within and beyond the home to boost confidence and self esteem.
