Activities at Archview Lodge Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Archview Lodge Care Home
Archview's Entry for the Christmas Cake Competition
The residents had a great time at our Chef's workshop in December working on our Christmas Cake entry.
Together with our chef, Ahmet, they met to design their cake and then each week they made it together step by step.
It was great fun chatting about making cakes and various recipes and flavours that were recommended with, of course, lots of tasting along the way.
The final result was a magnificent Advent Calendar themed cake which everyone enjoyed opening the daily boxes for, and although we didn’t win this year, we really enjoyed taking part.
Highland Fling at Archview
We were delighted to host the young dancers from KIC Dance School this month for an evening of performances which brought a lot of joy to our residents.
With the sword dance being a particular favourite, requiring great concentration and skill.
The residents thoroughly enjoyed the dancing and reminisced about their days of dance lessons and competitions in the past in their younger times.
Carols with Newton Grange Girls Brigade
We had a lovely evening with the Newton Grange Girls Brigade entertaining us all with a delightful selection of Christmas Carols.
They shared with us that they had been learning to sign along with their songs which just added more joy to the performance.
Thank you girls for giving us such a wonderful festive celebration we loved it and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Christmas Jumper Day
We are helping to make the world a better place by wearing festive jumpers today in support of Save the Children’s annual fundraising event, Christmas Jumper Day.
Our residents and colleagues were encouraged to borrow or decorate their own special Christmas jumpers and raise awareness for children in need around the world.
Some of our residents got very creative, decorating their knitwear with tinsel, stars, baubles and snowflakes, adding a bit of sparkle to the day.
Highland fling at Archview
Residents and colleagues had a wonderful evening with the amazing highland dancers from KIC Dance School who have become firm favourites here at the home.
We had a lovely time watching their various dances especially when they did the sword dance, fantastic work girls you were outstanding! It was a wonderful performance.
A Christmas Carol
Across our homes we’ve had the most wonderful time celebrating the festive season with a special screening of 2020’s OLD VIC: IN CAMERA – A Christmas Carol.
This beautifully staged production brought the magic of Dickens’ classic tale right into our homes. A huge thank you to The Old Vic theatre for sharing this incredible performance with us. It was a truly wonderful experience.
