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
Valentine's treats
We had a lovely time joining Chef Alex Connell from Vegetarian for Life for a Valentine’s-inspired virtual cookery demonstration. Chef Alex created some delicious Valentine’s Day-inspired vegetarian desserts, which our residents had the opportunity to try too.
First, our residents sampled a wonderful sticky toffee pudding, which was absolutely heavenly. Then they tried hazelnut truffles which were a huge hit and finally they were treated to a chocolate orange cake which everyone adored.
Amazing skies
We are so lucky to waken up to this in the morning. It's just beautiful. Pity a red sky in the morning is a shepherd's warning! Hopefully some snow though. We are very lucky here at Seaview to have such beautiful coast and landscapes around us.
Jigsaw happy!
A New Year and new challenges, resident Wullie's 1st Jigsaw of the year completed! We have counted and he has 24 New ones to work through with new ones being dropped off for him weekly. Anyone that can make use of some of the used ones please stop by and ask for them.
