Activities at Archview Lodge Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Archview Lodge Care Home
Mother's Day
Our home was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers and bunting in recognition of Mother’s Day and all the mothers in our home. We had plenty of extra activities on the week leading to this special day, like discussions group about the role of mothers, reminiscing sessions about our residents’ childhoods.
During the day, we invited the family members to a Mother’s Day afternoon tea party. What a lovely day that was!
Easter Cake Competition
Our residents enjoyed making Easter cake decorations for our Easter cake competition. Our Chef, Meryem, said that it was great team work, and we are all very proud of the outcome.
As you can see, the cake looked outstanding, but the best part was eating it with a freshly made cup of tea.
As always, we’ve had an amazing time.
Busy Bees Nursery Visit
Every Monday our residents get a visit from one of our local nurseries, Busy Bees. To make it even more fun, we invited boogie beats music exercises to join the fun.
Music, dance and plenty of laughter. That’s what our Monday morning looks like now. All residents absolutely love this visit and can’t wait for the next one.
Archview Lodge Dog Show
To celebrate the world-famous dog show, Crufts, we organised our own Archview dog show. We invited residents’ families and staff members who own a dog, and it's safe to say that we had a full house.
Residents loved seeing all the cute different breeds of dogs, and they picked their own three winners.
1st place went to a beautiful golden retriever boy, Murray, 2nd to a gorgeous king Charles called Mylo, and 3rd to a cute Pomsky called Lewis. All involved dogs receive a wee bag with some tasty treats.
Pancake Day!
Mix a pancake, stir a pancake, and pop it in the pan. Fry a pancake, toss a pancake, catch it if you can!
Pancake day is always very popular at Archview. There are not many residents who can say no to tasty freshly baked pancakes. Happy Pancake Day from us all!
Mark Hill Show
Mark Hill's show was a big hit. Mark performed as Mrs. Brown Boy, Elvis, Mickey Mouse.
Residents and families really enjoyed the entertainment delivered by Mark, along with some tasty apple cider, red berry mocktails and tasty snacks. So much laughter.
We can’t wait for the next show!
