Activities
Living in a Residential Care Home is a wonderful opportunity to make new friends, and with scheduled social occasions and opportunities for outings there is always something going on.
Many of our residents enjoy the regular live performances, talks, slide shows and Arts & Crafts sessions. Beautiful music from our violinist and pianist are always favourites.
We also have a lady that offers aromatherapy massage and the ancient art of Reiki – a form of alternative medicine renowned to heal and soothe – to willing residents on request.
You are also free to go out alone, or with an assistant, whichever is more appropriate.
