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
Collecting Memories
Courtesy of our dear friends at Grampian Packaging Supplies Ltd we've begun to build a selection of Memory Boxes for our wonderful residents.
The Memory Boxes cater to residents, celebrating their individuality.
The memory box is filled with meaningful items, mementos, and photographs. These boxes serve as gateways to cherished memories, allowing residents to reconnect with their past.
Much like treasure chests, our residents memory boxes hold precious moments. They play a vital role in celebrating residents' stories, lives and history.
