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.
Alex Leftley
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.

Fish and Chip Thursday
Our wonderful community enjoyed a take away from our local Fish and Chip shop in the harbour. We strive to deliver when our residents request anything and this is a great example. Great fun was had by all and lots of full up residents!
Knitting for Christmas in our community
Our wonderful residents here at Mortain Place have been busy knitting for our local Parish of St.Richards to decorate all local trees for Christmas across the diocese.
Our community have worked hard to help, spending days grafting but all doing something that they love.
The angels will raise much needed funds for the local churches and what a wonderful cause.
Ladies at lunch
Our care team went above and beyond to take two of our residents out for a meal at our local Thai for Alices' Birthday, in their own time. There was great fun had by all they can't wait to go back!
Play dates with pet pooches
We just love our weekly visits from Hudson the Labradoodle. He is always full of smiles and cuddles and of course we give him a sneaky sweet treat too.
