Our Activities Coordinator is constantly arranging new activities to stimulate and catch the imagination of our residents. From visiting entertainers to a regular craft table to outings on the minibus, there is always something for our residents to keep them entertained. Our Activities Coordinator also takes the time to sit with each resident and go through a life history so they get to know what the likes and dislikes of each individual are and can tailor the activities to suit them. A monthly residents meeting is held to get the views of the residents and to get suggestions from them and their families about what they would like to do and everything that can be done to accommodate their requests is done.
Head Chef, Michael Brooks, has recently been awarded a 5 star rating by Environmental Health, for the 14th year running!

Michael is pictured above being presented with champagne and is delighted that he will also be receiving a gift from Irene Lewis and the Hospitality Team.
