Activities at Lawton Rise Care Home

At Lawton Rise Care Home, residents can gain numerous benefits from engaging in creative activities. Not only does origami promote fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, but it also fosters mindfulness and relaxation. 

As residents focus on the intricate folds and patterns, they experience stress relief and a sense of accomplishment. Additionally, origami sessions can encourage social interactions, as residents share their creations and techniques, building camaraderie and enhancing community spirit within the home. 

What a special day we had at Lawton Rise as we welcomed back Teddy and Carlos from Knightley Alpaca Trekking. Residents gathered around, their faces lighting up with joy as they petted and cuddled the gentle animals.

What a joyful day we had with the wonderful ukulele band who came to play for us – and they certainly didn’t disappoint! From the moment they started strumming, the room lit up with toe-tapping tunes, sing-along favourites, and a whole lot of good energy. 

Their mix of cheerful classics and feel-good songs had everyone smiling, clapping along, and even having a little dance in their seats. The ukulele has such a warm, happy sound, and paired with the band’s fun, friendly spirit, it made for an afternoon full of laughter, music, and memories.

A huge thank you to the band for sharing their time and talent with us – it was a real treat, and we can’t wait to welcome them back!

We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Ben, a wonderfully talented pianist, for a visit – and what a treat it was. As he played, the space came alive with beautiful melodies that brought a real sense of calm and joy. 

From soft, gentle pieces to familiar tunes with a personal twist, Ben’s music had everyone smiling, relaxing, and just enjoying the moment. There’s something so special about live piano – it changes the whole feel of a place, and Ben’s playing created such a warm, peaceful atmosphere. It really was one of those moments you want to bottle up and keep. 

Thank you so much, Ben – we hope to see (and hear!) you again very soon.

We’re still buzzing from our recent flower arranging session – and what a gorgeous afternoon it was! With buckets full of carnations, sweet Williams, daisies, and gypsophila, we spent a relaxed few hours creating beautiful bunches, sharing laughs, and getting stuck into something creative. Everyone brought their own style – some went soft and delicate, others bold and bright – and every arrangement looked amazing. 

It wasn’t just about the flowers (though they were stunning) – it was the chatting, and that lovely feeling of making something by hand. Whether you came along solo or with friends, there was such a warm, feel-good vibe in the room.

Big thank you to everyone who joined us – you made it a truly special day.
