- 24/7 Access to our ‘Magic Table’ situated in the main dining room area. This projector encourages sensory stimulation, relaxation and reminiscence to residents individually or in group sessions.
Residents have the choice of participating in some or all of these. There are also individual one-to-one activities to cater for the specific interests of residents.
Residents are able to enjoy a sensory courtyard garden that is accessible from the lounge. There is also a separate dedicated residents’ garden, with raised beds, for those interested in gardening. The home has an active gardening club.
Finally, there is a meeting with each resident every month to solicit feedback on specific topics.
