Activities at Lethen Park 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.
Amanda McCarthy
We all know that keeping active is important. We have created a wonderful culture within the home and we work together to give residents the best possible experience. We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active. We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centered program of events and activities. Essential to our homely feel is the strong relationships of trust we build with residents and their families and friends

Life at Lethen Park Care Home
A Walk to the local shop
Jannett has been waiting for the nice weather to get out a walk, and on the 18th of April we did just that. Jannette had a wonderful walk with Amanda to the local shop, where we ran an errand for the Chef. Jannette felt liberated after the walk and said to Amanda “the walk did her the world of good”. Jannette is looking forward to our next walk.
Michael at Easter
Michael had a brilliant time this Easter. Michael enjoyed wearing our silly Easter decorations. He found this lots of Fun. Michael supported the activity team by telling lots of jokes to all the residents at the Easter dinner and he read out the Easter Sunday Oomph on Demand Activity service pack. All the residents really enjoyed the prays and songs.

Sensory story telling
Across our services, our residents were treated to a special virtual sensory storytelling session. Together with Art Historian Jon Sleigh and the Historic Royal Palaces community team, we explored several royal palaces through the theme of food, dining and celebration!
We enjoyed a fantastic taste-a-long experience from the comfort of our home, from Tudor treats to Stuart sweets. A lovely time was had by all.
