We have a varied range of activities residents can chose from to create a personalised timetable, so no one ever has to be short of something to do.
Options include professional appointments, exercise, including use of our arm and leg pedal machine, outings to the local duck pond, bingo, a visit from the ice-cream van, pampering sessions, cinema trips, theatre trips, games night, arts and crafts, baking/cooking, shelves full of books residents can choose and much more.
Each resident’s keyworker works closely with them to design their chosen timetable and discuss their likes and preferences to ensure this is a person centric plan that offers a breadth of activities each resident can do safely. The key is that residents choose what they want to do, and we facilitate each activity in a way that is safe and considered.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are freshly made every day by our chef in our secure kitchen. Residents are offered a choice of two options for every mealtime. Each month we hold a residents meeting, and they can choose what they would like on the menu.
For those residents who need extra help, we work alongside dieticians to ensure their needs are fulfilled.
We love to hold an event at Weston House! Our residents all become like one big family through so many group activities. From Birthday parties to BBQs, cake sales and joining in with nationwide occasions like Christmas or the World Cup – we like to turn up the fun.
Getting out and about is a really important part in the care of many of our residents. In line with someone’s personal care plan we encourage outings either independently, accompanied or in a group. From a stroll to feed the ducks, to lunch at the local restaurant, a trip to the shops or a trip to the seaside, experiencing the wider world safely is often a vital part of someone’s longer term well-being and where possible their return home.
Whilst we encourage and aspire for independence for our residents, this is all delivered with Health and Safety as the number one priority for both our service users and staff. 24-hour observation and personal care plans ensure our residents can live together safely. Little details such as having no lighters on the premises, but an electric lighter in a designated smoking area for example, all help to keep everyone safe.
