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.

Life at Fairview House Care Home
Eyes Down!
What a perfect way to spend an afternoon, than sit together and have a game of Bingo.
Bingo is a great social activity that reduces the risk of isolation, stress and anxiety, but positively promotes cognitive functions and builds friendships amongst one another.
Our residents at Fairview House always look forward to our weekly bingo session. Everyone that joins has a fun and fabulous time!
Arts & Crafts at Fairview House
A great way to start the week here at Fairview House! We have been busy planting seeds, making bird feeders, painting each other’s portraits and learning how to use water colours!
Our residents are brilliant artists!

It was a wonderful day and Myra thoroughly enjoyed herself!

Dressing the tree
And so the Christmas countdown begins! With today being the 1st of December we have been working hard to put the trees up and get the whole home decorated for a very festive Christmas. We are excited for a very busy December. Lots of festive treats to come!
