Activities at Cossins House Care Home

Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Getting out and about in the community means so much. Residents at Cossins House enjoy regular bus trips to National Parks, garden centres, shopping centres and many more lovely destinations. Garson’s Farm is one of our favourite places and the cake is absolutely delicious.
