Activities at Archview Lodge Care Home

Another great afternoon here at Archview. We’d like to say a very big thank you to one of our colleagues, Mary who shared her creativity in writing the play ‘who ate the last rollo?’  Colleagues dedicated their time for rehearsals and coming together as a family and whole home to perform this special play to our residents and families – it was so much fun and everyone who came along had a fabulous time.

We were delighted to help Resident, Tam’s wish has come true. When we discovered he was a huge rangers fan, and had been since he was a young boy, we took this knowledge and reached out Rangers Football Club to see if they could support and make his dream come true!  Tam was over the moon to receive a signed photograph and letter and we’d like to say a special thank you to them.

Residents across our homes and hospitals had a fantastic time with vocal coach Dan Cooper from Biiah as he led an amazing sing-a-long session for residents to enjoy.

Residents who joined the event were able to learn different techniques as they sang the famous ‘I Can See Clearly Now’ by Jimmy Cliff and ‘Here Comes the Sun’ by The Beatles.

Across our homes there were smiles and laugher all around. The session was such a success and was great for the mind, body and soul.

We continue to celebrate a varied life enrichment programme and across our services we linked up with other Barchester care homes and hospitals up and down the country for some interactive Beat the Clock games. 

Our residents truly enjoyed solving word puzzles, conundrums and mathematical problems as part of Barchester’s very own game show series.

Everyone who joined had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition.

We had a brilliant time across our services with Harrogate Skills 4 Living as they took us on a wonderful virtual visit to their Harrogate Chocolate Factory.

Residents were thrilled to discover details about the chocolate-making process and the fascinating journey from bean to bar, all while enjoying some delicious sweet treats.

The Factory aims to employ people with learning disabilities and autism, involving them in all parts of the process, from sorting and roasting the beans to packaging and sales. The experience was truly enjoyed by all who joined this event.
