Activities at Archview Lodge Care Home

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.

Diane Wood

Head of Activities

Hi, my name is Diane and  I am Head of Activities here at Archview.  I have worked in the homes since 2009.

I strongly believe in creating moments for our residents and embracing their individuality with tailor made activities, whilst remaining person centred and respecting resident’s preferences. Every day I like to ensure the residents on memory lane can enjoy themselves and have a good time whilst forming bonds with each other and the staff around them.

Outside of work,  I have a 23 years old son and a wee dog called Hugo and my ambition is to make people smile and be happy.

Life at Archview Lodge Care Home

A walk on the wild side

Activities coordinators, Sally and Diane treated Residents to a walk on the wild side as they served refreshments to residents dressed as a monkey and tiger to the amusement of all.  The trolley laden with fresh fruit and smoothies was wheeled around the home bringing plenty of smiles to all.

Tasty Treats

The home's Chef, Ahmed, spoilt our residents with his tasty treats, which were enjoyed by all.
