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.

Life at Ottley House Care Home
Gardening Club
It’s that time of year again; we have been very busy potting seeds ready to put into our garden. Rain or shine, nothing stops our Gardening Club from happening. Outdoors or indoors, we pot 'til we drop!
Rupert the Horse
Rupert the horse recently visited our home and greeted everyone with a hug. He certainly enjoys the attention, and so do we!
Woodturning Demo
Armchair Yoga
A trained volunteer from OMEGA came in to host an armchair yoga session. They come in every week and residents really look forward to their visits. Each week's activity is different, whether it's exercise, music or a talk.
It's a Kind of Magic
Residents were entertained and dazzled by magician and comedian, Paul Ray, who is a member of the Magic Circle. He had the residents and staff amazed at his magic tricks and had us all crying with laughter with his funny little stories.
Ottley's Centenarian
Muriel enjoyed a party with some of her family and other residents at Ottley House. General Manager, Davina Mcloughlin, presented Muriel with her telegram from the Queen.
