Activities at Seaview House Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators are constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we support by organising group and individual activities for anyone and everyone to participate in. There are exercise classes and a walking group, regular outings in the minibus to nearby places of interest including local concerts, as well as weekly visits from a PAT dog, and regular visits from musicians and entertainers, as well as church services which are held twice a month. We also host a weekly social event in which we encourage residents from the whole home to socialise together.
Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained, and that life at Seaview is fun and active.

Life at Seaview House Care Home
Wick players entertain
Seaview recently had a special performance from Wick Players. Introducing Marney Bruce, Margaret Thomson & Jane Taylor in “Spring Cleaning” A Caithness Comedy. The wit & one liners were brilliant and the sound of chuckles & laughter from residents, staff & visitors could be heard coming from the lounge.
Landmark celebrations
Seaview recently celebrated Cathies 100th Birthday. Surrounded by her family, friends & Seaview Family Cathie was entertained by Addie Harper & Friends. Cathie also received lots of handmade cards from local schools Noss & Newton Park which she enjoyed her family reading to her. Our Local Tesco’s also delivered freshly baked pancakes for her Party which went down a treat.
Dance school entertains
Elise Lyall Dance School entertains Seaview. We recently had Elise Lyall’s Dance School in Seaview to entertain everyone with their dance routines and everyone in full Highland Dress.
Royal Botanic Garden
Our homes enjoyed a wonderful virtual tour of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh with Community Engagement Manager, Charlotte Walker, and Botanic Cottage Operations Co-ordinator, Laura Gallagher.
The residents were thrilled to learn more about the history of the beautiful Garden, which is now a home to an impressive plant collection from around the world.
Charlotte and Laura also gave a demonstration of making fresh herbal tea and were happy to answer our questions. The virtual experience was truly enjoyed by all who joined.
International Charity Day
Residents from Seaview wanted to give locally for International Charity Day so Joan and Clara were delighted handing over two boxes of groceries, jigsaws and books to the Pultney Peoples Project’s Sharing Area where families that are struggling with the rising cost of living can come and help themselves to whatever they need.
A furry visitor
When a relative drops off Mo the collie puppy for an afternoon of visiting at Seaview, you can tell by their faces a furry cuddle and lick is most welcome! Pet therapy at its best.
