Activities at Ouse View Care Home

A big thank you to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary for the fantastic live virtual event today!

Residents across our services loved seeing the seals up close and learning about the incredible work the sanctuary does to protect them and other wildlife in Cornwall as well.

Everyone truly enjoyed the experience. 

Ouse View has recently brought a new splash of colour to residents’ lives by installing a digital Rainbow Table which brings with it a whole new world of interactive possibilities.

The Rainbow Table is a versatile digital platform that uses all kinds of interactive games and apps to connect people with each other, their family members and friends, all while stimulating movement and cognitive activity. The Rainbow Table can be used individually or as a group, residents are invited to play all kinds of games, take part in activities and classes, quizzes, brain training and sensory apps, connect with others via Zoom, watch films and TV programmes, listen to music, the possibilities really are endless.  It is a great way to spark discussions, get everyone up and dancing, debating, reminiscing, the Rainbow Table is rapidly becoming everyone’s favourite piece of kit.

Residents and staff at Ouse View honoured their local emergency services by inviting their local fire, to the home to deliver delicious home-baked goodies prepared by the home’s head chef Luke to thank them and all the staff stationed there for their selfless service keeping the community safe.

Residents at Ouse View had the pleasure of an amazing visit from the North Yorkshire Fire Fighters! The residents enjoyed engaging conversations with the fire fighters while enjoying delicious cakes. The highlight of the day was a fascinating tour of the fire engine, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. It truly was an incredible experience!
