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.

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.

Life at Ottley House Care Home
St David's Day
With daffodils beginning to bloom, we honours the patron saint with some delicious Welch cake and plenty of tea.
Cheese & Wine Afternoon
We showed off our stylish new look with a cheese and wine afternoon. The hospitality team provided complimentary refreshments, whilst management were on hand to give our visitors a guided tour of the home.
National Real Bread Day
Local bakery, Bakehouse & Co., kindly donated some lovely freshly baked bread for residents to try. Everyone enjoyed sampling the bread and washed them down with a refreshing cup of tea.
Valentine's Day
Everyone was feeling the love this Valentine’s Day. Cupid was very busy, as all staff and residents received sweets and chocolates and had a card from a secret admirer to open.
Farmer John
Farmer John has been here before and always puts on a great performance, singing a variety of songs from different eras.
Pizza Making with a Twist
We had a quiz using different coloured circles to help with visual impairment, and every correct answer earned a different coloured 'pizza' circle. The winner was the first one to finish making their pizza.
