Activities make up an important part of all our days and, at Barchester, we ensure the variety reflects the interests and capabilities of all the people we support. With our staff on hand at all times, each activity is designed to not only mentally and physically stimulate our people but to enhance their life skills and feelings of purpose and self-worth.

Popular clubs and interests include:

• Art club
• Gardening
• Exercise and movement
• Photography
• Baking
• Arts and crafts
• Cards, quizzes and discussion groups
• Entertainers
• Trips and visits within the local region on the care home’s minibus

Spa treatments such as manicures, facials and complementary therapies (including Indian head massage) are on offer in a variety of our homes. Music therapy services are also available through our partnership with Nordoff-Robbins, the UK’s leading independent provider of music therapy services. This sees qualified music therapists come to our care home environments to work with the people we support.
