Activites 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.

Activities Coordinator

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.

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

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. 

Harley Davidson Ride

Harley Davidson Ride

When Jill told her story about her sitting on a Harley Davidson when she was younger, there was only one thing on the activities team mind… after contacting Rolling Rides, they made her memory a reality again. 

Jill was surrounded by friends and her husband as she got back from her ride on the Harley. What a thrilling day!

Simple Pleasures

Sometimes we take those simplistic moments for granted. Reading a book with the sun on your face, your favourite tipple in hand and sitting in your happy place. A perfect afternoon.

Riding into 93 years young

When Helen made a wish to ride a horse again for her 93rd birthday just as she did as a child. Staff at Mortain Place set about making it happen. Contacting friends at Polegate Equestrian Centre they made her dream a reality. Helen was surrounded by friends as she got back in the saddle and took Jester for a little trot in the countryside. What a fantastic experience.
