Activities
We consider it very important for our residents to have available a range of suitable recreational activities from which to choose. We will encourage and help our residents to find activities in which they would like to participate.
Alternatively, residents may prefer to pursue their own particular hobbies and interests and we will assist residents with these in any way we can.
We have a Resident Champion to support person centred recreational activities.
RELIGIOUS SERVICES
Our residents particular religious beliefs and practices are respected. Residents may attend religious services either within or outside the home as they so desire. If services are outside the home the resident should if, necessary, and where possible, arrange for transport and accompaniment with friends or relatives. In the event that this is not possible care staff may accompany service users on specific occasions if staffing levels permit.
Residents have the right to meet clergy of their chosen denomination at any time. If required a private room will be made available for such meetings.
