Activities at Lethen Park Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

We all know that keeping active is important. We have created a wonderful culture within the home and we work together to give residents the best possible experience. We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active. We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centered program of events and activities. Essential to our homely feel is the strong relationships of trust we build with residents and their families and friends
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

Residents go apple picking
Residents at Lethen Park care home in Portlethen recently pick apples from their Orchard trees for their very own apple-themed puddings.
After the apple picking, all of the participants returned to the home where they peeled the apples for the chef, and chefs in the kitchen got busy baking the apples in a delicious apple pie, which was enjoyed by all.
General Manger at Lethen Park care home, said: “One of our favourite days in autumn is apple picking in our very own Orchard, not only do the residents get a lovely day in the garden but we get to eat delicious pie.
Pet therapy with Toby
To mark Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, staff and residents at Barchester’s Lethen Park care home in Portlethen were treated to a visit from Toby the beautiful therapy pet. Animals have a wonderful calming effect and the residents love to stroke them, talk to them and play with them.
The home was visited by Toby the Jack Russell, who caused a great deal of excitement. All of the residents enjoyed the visit, they petted and fed the dog who seemed to appreciate meeting new friends. His favourite moment was being pushed around in the silver cross pram and falling asleep to relaxing movements.
“Toby had a wonderful afternoon! I don’t think he has ever had so much attention! It was lovely to see the residents getting so much pleasure from the visit, I think it is fair to say Toby has a new fan club!”
