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.

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
International celebration of real bread!
Today we marked the annual, international celebration of real bread and the people who make it.
Over the course of the week, overseen by our chefs and activities team, we will be kneading and baking a selection of different breads over the week. From granary loaves and floury batches, sourdoughs, focaccia and chocolate delights.
Apart from tasting the delicious breads, our residents will learn interesting fact about the history of bread.
We started our week off today with a Rosemary bread and a crusty White number, lurpak and jam.
Nescafe virtual experience
We had a fabulous time joining NESCAFÉ’s virtual coffee experience. We were able to look into how they sustainably farm their coffee beans, as well as, to have a virtual tour of one of their factories all from the comfort of our home.
To make things even more interesting, our residents had the chance to test their knowledge with an interactive quiz, and to the delight of all to taste the signature Sweet Cinnamon Shaken Iced Coffee cocktail.
A visit from our furry friend, Coco!
Today our wonderful Nurse, Sherry brought her beautiful fur baby Coco in to see the residents.
All the residents were delighted with how precious she was.
We can't wait for more visits especially to teach her how to play fetch in the garden when the weather improves!
Valentines preparations in full swing at Lethen Park!
We are all feeling the love at Lethen Park with preparations in full swing for celebrations on Monday!
Valentine's treats
We had a lovely time joining Chef Alex Connell from Vegetarian for Life for a Valentine’s-inspired virtual cookery demonstration. Chef Alex created some delicious Valentine’s Day-inspired vegetarian desserts, which our residents had the opportunity to try too.
First, our residents sampled a wonderful sticky toffee pudding, which was absolutely heavenly. Then they tried hazelnut truffles which were a huge hit and finally they were treated to a chocolate orange cake which everyone adored.
Therapy doll
We would like to say a Massive thank you to Bailey Boo's Crafts for the very special therapy doll. We will take very good care of him and he is loved so much already.
