Activities at Ottley House Care Home
At Ottley House, we offer a person-centred activities programme, and aim to match residents' abilities and interests with meaningful activities of the correct degree of challenge that promotes their health and well-being. We also provide visual, tactile, audible and olfactory sensory experiences. There are weekly music/movement therapy sessions, 'Oomph' sessions, and arts & crafts classes to help improve, maintain and refine motor skills. We enjoy regular visits from entertainers, musicians and animal therapists, as well as pub nights, 'food from around the world' days, and minibus outings to places of interest.

Easter at Ottley
Residents spent a happy morning making Easter bonnets. We also held a raffle, which raised over £400 for our comfort fund, and had local girl, Ellie, and her friend entertain us in the afternoon. The weather was so nice that they were able to perform outside on our patio area.
