Abode Care Homes are proud to be members of NAPA (National Association for Providers of Activities for Older People).
As well as the personal care that is required, the homes also provide other services including daily newspapers, library service, hairdressing, manicure, pedicure and chiropody. We also offer an extensive range of entertainments and activities throughout all of our care homes.
In line with our personal care plans, we tailor all activities to meet the preferences of the individuals living within each community, whether in long or short term care. The activities are designed to maximise social networking within the homes and allow residents to fully enjoy the company of their peers, carers and relatives. You are welcome to book a visit to any of our homes during an activity session to experience for yourself the sense of community that can be achieved.
All our homes encourage a socially active lifestyle to promote a stimulating environment for residents. Increased mental stimulation encourages healthy active minds and help maintain as much independence and enjoyment of life as possible. Entertainment offers an ideal therapeutic opportunity for all our residents.
Our on site activities include;
Indoor
We are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of a healthy diet and exercise for our physical and mental wellbeing. Exercise is an important part of daily activity throughout our care homes.
Personalised exercise plans may include exercise to music by an external provider as well as other physical activities; exercise is crucial to the mobility of many residents.
The plans are designed to be easily adapted to serve as therapeutic and recovery aids if required. Where a resident has specific nursing or mobility restrictions then a physiotherapist may be arranged (via the GP) to provide specialist bed or armchair exercises.
Outdoor
We encourage our residents to maintain the links that they have established in the local community to preserve familiarity with their surroundings.
Residents are invited to go on local outings and excursions, aiding reminiscence and recall which is especially important for those with confusional illnesses such as dementia.
For residents who have relocated from other areas, these excursions enable them to explore and enjoy their new community with safety and security.
Outings offer excellent opportunities for short walks at the seaside and in towns and the countryside.
At Abode Care Homes, we actively promote activities which stimulate mental agility, as well as physical activity to maintain or improve motor skills.
The homes are highly flexible to encourage residents to continue to share and enjoy their hobbies and interests along with others.
We have a large variety of activities available and are happy to arrange specific activities in line with the personalised care plan for all residents.
We have listed below a few of the arts and crafts activities on offer; further details can be provided on request.
