Activities at Mortain Place Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

I was working in the print trade when a friend of mine became very unwell and I had to find a nursing home for her. Due to the dedication of the staff, my friend had another 18 months and I was able to take her out after being house bound for many years.
I felt that I wanted to do a job that made a difference and became a carer. I went back to school and redone my GCSE,s and then went onto do my level 3 diploma and am always enhancing my skills and knowledge. I came to Mortain Place as a senior carer on Normandy Gardens and worked my way up to Community Lead. I have chosen to move to the activities team to help support the life enrichment programme and help improve the life experience’s of our residents.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

Great to see our residents flower arranging after lunch. What a fantastic past-time, enjoyed by so many of our residents today.
Day Out at Knockhatch Adventure Park
Our residents enjoyed a day out at Knockhatch Adventure Park, supporting the International Day of play. Whilst out and about we met the Meerkats and many of our residents helped feed them their lunch. Great Fun! Many thanks to Sophie for providing a very informative talk.
Music Festival
So the weather was not on our side for our recent Music Festival, no problem, we brought the music indoors. Guy Sunshine with others, provided the brightness indoors, to bring joy to our residents in an engaging fun afternoon of music and merriment.
