Activities at Pentland View Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!
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 Pentland View Care Home
Tour of the deep
Residents across our services enjoyed a fantastic virtual tour of The Deep, an award-winning aquarium in Hull.
Our residents dived into the underwater world of some fascinating creatures such as sharks, turtles and stingrays.
It was a truly immersive and educational experience that brought the wonders of the ocean right to our screens.
Flower arranging in the garden
It was all about flower power as residents took advantage of the warmer and sunnier weather to take their popular flower arranging session outside.
Trip to Halkirk Heritage and Vintage Motors
We took a mini bus trip with some gentlemen to visit the centre, where we had a great time admiring the cars and exhibits and reminiscing.
A walk on the wild side
Residents, staff and visitors were delighted by a visit from the Caithness Animal Farm park as they took a walk on the wild side! The weather even cooperated and stayed dry long enough for an outdoor experience and the animals were so wonderful and well behaved!
The Caithness Animal Farm Park brought a selection of their small animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, tortoises, a snake, and a leopard gecko to visit the residents. Eve4ryone very much enjoyed holding and cuddling the animals, and many were even brave enough to cuddle the snake!
Celebrating Cadbury's
Residents across our services had a wonderful time joining Cadbury for an interactive virtual talk on their fascinating 200-year history.
Residents joining learnt interesting facts about the chocolate giant, shared memories, and reminisced about their favourite sweet treats.
It was a heartwarming experience filled with laughter, nostalgia, and plenty of chocolatey goodness!
Residents enjoy northerly outing
Residents at Pentland View made the most out of Friday’s beautiful weather and headed to John O Groats for a nostalgic day out. The sun must be enjoyed while it’s here and what better way to do it than with a trip that brings back so many memories?
Residents boarded the mini bus and headed off for their afternoon out. The day was made extra special as it was resident Barbara Thomson’s birthday! The birthday girl was treated to some delicious coffee and brownies from Stacks and it would have been rude for the rest of the residents and staff on the outing not to join in too!
