Activities
Our activities team includes a dedicated activities coordinator and two assistants, with two staff attending for three days and at least one every day, averaging nearly 12 hours of active engagement daily. From music and crafts to gentle exercise and social events, these tailored programs spark joy and connection for all 35 residents.​

Activities and socials are an important part of everyday life and wellbeing whatever your age. We offer a full calendar of positive pursuits and encourage participation based on individual preferences and needs.

On site are landscaped gardens with a tranquil Koi pond – perfect for a relaxing catch up with family and friends – as well as The Cabin, a versatile space and the home of garden parties, BBQs, summer fetes, cinema club and much more.

A wide variety of activities are undertaken individually and in groups that include trips to the local pub and shops, as well as outings to local events and places of interest.

Community
Encouraging Participation
We put our residents at the heart of our community.
Regular resident's meetings are held to ensure that their views and ideas are listened to and that any concerns can be raised and discussed.
Family and friends are invited to attend these meetings if they wish.
​
We actively encourage participation as it maintains interaction, high spirits and an active social life.
We take into consideration the individual interests and personalities of every resident, and aim to organise activities that everyone will enjoy.
