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

Life at Lethen Park Care Home

Lethen Park staff and residents were celebrating on 20th March. Karen Watson received her 20 year Long Service Award, Nicola Selkirk turned the big '40' and our General Manager, Elaine Booth, also celebrated her birthday. After the presentation, staff and residents celebrated with music balloons and cake.
The Lethen Park Oscars
We hosted our very own screening of La La Land and awards ceremony to celebrate the Oscars. We even had a red carpet and 'walk of the stars'.
Employee of the Month - Lethen
Norma always speaks to all the residents, trying to engage with them. She will sing and dance when carrying out her cleaning, which always gets a great response. Norma will do anything for residents, visitors and fellow staff members. She approaches her work with passion and a smile.
The Critter Keeper
The Critter Keeper visited Lethen Park with his awesome critters, including an iguana, a lizard, a tarantula, a snake, a hedgehog, a cockroach and even a cuddly bunny.
Falling with Style
Michelle Nairn, one of our Carers, recently took part in a skydive. The money she raised was added to our residents' fund for extra treats over the festive period.
Dementia Friendly Community
On the 16th September, Lethen Park Care Home, together with the community, in collaboration with the local councillor, Alison Evison, and Kate Gray, the Dementia in the Community Liaison officer, launched the Dementia Friendly Port Lethen. The first meeting had a turnout of 35 people who were all keen to make a difference to the lives of people living with dementia. This project will give residents the chance to be part of the community and take part in local activities.
