improving the lives of residents

We believe that we are the first care home in the locality to have a dedicated activity centre.

We have recently opened our new activity centre in a separate building next to the residents courtyard.

Since April, we are now operating, crafts and cooking sessions.

Other activities in the pipeline are- cinema afternoons, and summer fetes.

Our dedicated Activity Organiser- Wyomi of WYSACTIVITIES visits 3 times a week and carries out arts and crafts with the residents.

Andrew continues his popular music and movement sessions once a week.

Watford House also employs dedicated Activity administrator, Amanda, who organises all outside entertainers and takes Residents on shopping trips and outings to local attractions.

We are also encouraging families to attend our Coffee mornings, with staff and residents in order to discuss residents care plans and allow families to exchangetheir experiences with dementia and other assocociated illnesses.

We hope that this new activity centre will significantly improve the lives of residents and allow the home to connect more with the local community.

We will soon be LINK Members of the National Trust and Using the Community Transport Scheme we shall be encouraging residents to visit national trust venues nearby.
