Full Activities Programme

One of the many things we’re passionate about here at Deeside Care Home is making sure that our residents are getting the very most out of every single day. We encourage our residents to do what makes them happy, whether that’s exploring the gardens and grounds here at Deeside, socialising with their friends and family, or stretching their legs and adventuring into Aberdeen’s city centre.

Our Activity Coordinators have a fantastic time organising plenty of exciting activities for our residents to take part in, including dementia-friendly activities. Although we do have a minibus to take our residents from excursion to excursion, Deeside is in such a great location that if loved ones wanted to join in the fun, there are plenty of nearby public transport options available.

Never a Dull Moment at Deeside

If you want to focus on staying active, or you’d rather spend your days really harnessing your creativity, there really is never a dull moment while staying with us here at Deeside Care Home. We’re very strong believers in the idea that no two days should be exactly the same, and for our residents, we want nothing more than to make that idea even more of a reality.

We also really value our resident’s independence, which is why not all of our activities are supervisor-led. Of course, for activities such as day-trips and special excursions, having a member of our team might be a wise idea. However, at Deeside we encourage our residents to take charge and do what makes them happy. Therefore, many activities on our programme are resident driven, and more often than not, co-organised by both our residents and our activity coordinators.

Live Life Your Way

Just because our residents have relocated to come and join us at Deeside, doesn’t mean that the way in which they live their life needs to drastically change. We want our residents to continue to live life their way, and our activities have been designed to not interfere with that in the slightest.

Our activities aren’t compulsory, meaning that if our residents would simply rather not participate for a day or two, that’s completely okay. Our activities are meant to be enjoyed, and if a resident decides to give something a go that turns out to just not be their cup of tea, there are absolutely no strings attached.

Full Activities Programme FAQs

Our activities are offered daily so that our residents never have to experience the same day twice. We try to make changes to our schedule as often as possible to ensure that all of our residents can expect something new and exciting.

We offer a wide array of activities and amenities. From planned day trips filled with retail therapy and visiting attractions, to on-site activities such as pamper sessions or bingo tournaments.

We have lots of books, magazines and craft resources ready and waiting for when the artistic desire strikes. If you’re up for a mentally stimulating afternoon, we offer quizzes, board games and jigsaws. If you’re more socially inclined, we have in the past hosted wine and cheese evenings as well as welcome musicians and theatre productions.

We plan so many activities for our residents because we don’t think that a change of location equals a change of lifestyle. By the time our residents fully move into our home, they’ve already undergone stress and uncertainty.

We strive to offer each and every one of our residents something they personally have an interest in for a higher level of engagement and participation. We plan so many events and activities because we’re all about enhancing the lives of older people.
