Activities at North Park Care Home

Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Christmas Fayre

Residents, relatives and staff had a great time at our Christmas Fayre. Staff dressed up in Christmas outfits for the day and we even had a Father Christmas! We also had a visit from a horse who dressed up as a reindeer. There was lots of delicious food and drink on offer which was made by our head chef for the event. The day got everyone in the Christmas spirit.
