Activities at Fairview House Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators create a weekly planner that consists of a variety of activities, which caters to all residents' needs as best as possible. The most popular activities are bingo, which we host twice a week, flower arranging and weekly visits from Vinnie our pet therapy dog. Residents also enjoy minibus trips in the nicer weather and we attend a concert every month. We are also involved in the Council Well-being Team, which keeps us up-to date with upcoming events within the community and provides interesting ideas for activities we can try in the home.
Throughout the year, we host various special events, including themed open days and summer and winter fetes that people in our local communities are welcome to join us for. We also have monthly church services with Rev. Ann from Danestone Congregational Church, which is open to loved ones as well.

Afternoon tea
Afternoon Tea party and Valerie's Birthday Celebration! We had a lovely afternoon with lots of cakes, music and great company. Everyone enjoyed getting together savoring all the delicious home baked cakes and sandwiches that our chef Alex prepared for our lovely residents and their families.
Coffee and cake
Today Fiona and Elaine had been very busy creating beautiful sitting spaces with the new furniture and decorative objects for our lovely residents and for their visitors to. So the gentlemen enjoyed a movie with a glass of beer and crisps in one corner and on the other corner the ladies enjoyed a cup of tea with a lovely strawberry tart and a chat. This sittings are very good for socialising, for small groups activities and for the visitors.
Music through the ages
Our homes had a brilliant time with curator Sarah Deters as she took us on a virtual ‘Music Through the Ages’ tour of St Cecilia’s Hall: Concert Room and Music Museum.
Our residents were thrilled to discover weird and wonderful musical instruments, hear their unusual sounds, and find out how instruments have changed over the last 500 years.
The virtual live event explored the world-renown collection of musical instruments on display at St Cecilia’s Hall, Scotland’s oldest concert hall.
Music and dance
Today our lovely residents enjoyed a sing along session with old favourites songs. Some of them couldn't resist and started dancing engaging some of the staff too. Music make everyone happy
