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.

Tai Chi Brings Residents Together

Residents of Archview enjoyed a demonstration and class hosted by Kami, who introduced them to the Chinese form of martial arts. The residents were very interested in learning more about Tai Chi, including the health benefits, different styles and its history.

This is an chair based activity so everyone can join in regardless of your ability. A lot of laughter is generated from the class and Residents are looking forward to the next session.

Residents Enjoyed a Blooming Afternoon

Residents of Archview enjoyed an afternoon of flower arranging to help decorate the home with springtime blooms. Everyone enjoyed assorting the flowers to create beautiful arrangements in various vases while having a catch-up over a cup of tea.

Kasia, activities coordinator at Archview said: “Everyone really enjoyed the flower arranging activity. Our home looks and smells even more lovely now the beautiful blooms are on display.”
