Social activities include coffee mornings, cheese and wine parties, meetings, discussions and a variety of group activities both inside and outside the home, including pub trips, and days out. Entertainers, musicians and theatre troupes visit the home on a regular basis. We also have regular tasting sessions of unusual or foreign foods and drink.

Mental stimulation is provided through a variety of quizzes, crosswords,word and number games including bingo, scrabble and card games. We have a team of volunteers who have time to talk, befriend or simply play a game of draughts.

Physically stimulating activities such as exercise to music, skittles, hoopla and Jabadeo are always popular pastimes and go towards improving dexterity and co-ordination. Some pastimes encompass both creative and physical skills such as craftwork, flower arranging and painting. We make our own cards for special occasions and these are available to purchase. All proceeds are ploughed back into new activities.

A separate clients computer with internet access is available 24hrs a day.

We have mobile Snoozelem equipment which can be set up anywhere in the home. This can be used to stimulate all five senses at once. A fantastic lightshow is incorporated. The equipment can have a dramatic and positive effect on an individuals mood, and general outlook and well being.
