Activities at Fairview House 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.
Our Activities Coordinators create a weekly planner that consists of a variety of activities, which caters to all residents' needs as best as possible. The most popular activities are bingo, which we host twice a week, flower arranging and weekly visits from Vinnie our pet therapy dog. Residents also enjoy minibus trips in the nicer weather and we attend a concert every month. We are also involved in the Council Well-being Team, which keeps us up-to date with upcoming events within the community and provides interesting ideas for activities we can try in the home.
Throughout the year, we host various special events, including themed open days and summer and winter fetes that people in our local communities are welcome to join us for. We also have monthly church services with Rev. Ann from Danestone Congregational Church, which is open to loved ones as well.
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 Fairview House Care Home
Stars and stripes at Fairview
Staff and residents at Fairview House Care Home got the flags out and celebrated American Independence Day in style by making our own special American themed cakes and enjoying different American foods whilst learning all about the culture.
Many residents have visited America and some have family living there so American Independence Day was a great excuse to reminisce about previous trips and go on virtual tours to favourite places such as New York, the Grand Canyon and San Francisco.
Visit from Frankie & Pepsi
This morning we had an exciting visit from Frankie and Pepsi who are two lovely miniature daschunds. They went around all the lounges and in residents rooms for some cuddles!
All of our residents absolutely loved their visit and were very happy to see them. We will be bringing Frankie and Pepsi back to the home again at some point as requested by all the residents!
Decorating Memory Lane Garden
Today our garden club in Memory Lane got together to start painting the benches outside.
Everyone loved joining together and working as a team to start adding more colour to the garden. We are already so proud of the work we have done and can't wait to continue adding more to the garden area.
After our hard work we sat back and relaxed to enjoy the sunshine and each other’s company!
Fun in the Sun
This morning we got lots of our residents outside to soak up the sunshine with some ice cream / lollies. We also brought our speaker outside and did some music and movement, everyone was so happy and enjoying one another's company.
Enjoying Pride month
This June, staff and residents at Fairview House care home in Aberdeen, have been creating decorations, festooning their home with rainbows and enjoying the colourful celebrations from around the world.
