Activities

We encourage our residents to keep up hobbies and interests as well as they are able and we provide practical help and support where it’s needed. This might include accompanying a resident on a regular trip to the local library, a shopping expedition or a visits to an activity centre. We also encourage residents to take up new interests; again, we offer support where it’s needed.

General newspapers and magazines are provided so residents can keep up with current affairs. We arrange subscriptions for residents who want to receive magazines related to their hobby or interest.

We have a diversional therapist who visits us twice a week. She facilitates and coordinates our leisure and recreational activities. All our activities are designed to support and enhance the psychological, social, emotional and physical well-being of our residents. Find out more about our approach to activities at Stanfield Nursing Home.

We have an excellent relationship with a Music Therapist who regularly visits the home to lead music and singing sessions. The therapist also brings in a selection of instruments for our residents to enjoy playing.

We have visiting theatre companies, singers, poets, dancers and magicians who also put on shows at the home.

A hairdresser visits the home on a weekly basis.

Clergy of all denominations visit the home to celebrate the Eucharist. For those residents for whom church attendance is key, we liaise with loved ones to facilitate this.
