Social Wellbeing
​Our aim is to provide a lifestyle for our residents, which meets their social, cultural, religious and recreational interests and needs. We encourage residents to maintain old friendships and build new ones. 

Programmes of activity are designed to encourage mental alertness, self-esteem, and social interaction with other residents. We will seek to maximise development of individuals within their potential and encourage them to express themselves as unique persons.
Our weekly activity timetable typically includes:
Arts and Crafts
Bible Study
Coffee Morning
Exercise Class
Indoor Skittles
Knit and Natter
Services in the Chapel
Scrabble, Quizzes & Games
& much much more!
Social Activities
​
Residents are given the choice of what activities they wish to join in with and when to take free time. They have the opportunity to give input on what entertainment and activities they wish to be arranged through quality assurance questionnaires and by being on the Entertainment Committee.
Monthly newsletters, notice boards, and visual pictures / signs are used throughout the home to assist individuals that may experience communication difficulties.

Residents of the sheltered housing are encouraged to join in with social activities held in the care home.
