Activities at Ouse View Care Home
We understand that the people we will be supporting will have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we won’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our activities team will be dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events will be organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

We all know that keeping active is important. We have created a wonderful culture within the home and we work together to give residents the best possible experience. We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active.
We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centered program of events and activities.
Essential to our homely feel is the strong relationships of trust we build with residents and their families and friends. The home also has its very own minibus for our numerous outings for coffee and shopping, which residents love. We also enjoy our regular clubs, virtual events and varied life enrichment programme.

Life at Ouse View Care Home
Roman Colouring
Yesterday afternoon Residents had the Romans in mind when they created their own colourful versions of the iconic Roman helmet. As York has so much Roman history, we thought we would do our own little bit this month to link in with the forthcoming year of National celebrations to mark 1900 years of Hadrian's Wall. Look out for a few more nods to our Roman history coming soon this January (which is, after all, named after the Roman god Janus)!
Rocky Road Experience
Yesterday afternoon Residents had fun baking and creating their very own rocky road delicious treats, safe to say, they didn't last long!
Carol concert
Residents and staff at Ouse View Care Home enjoyed the chance to sing Christmas Carols in a traditional Lessons and Carols Service led by our local vicar Rev. Sue Sheriff. We are enjoying the true spirit of Christmas, and look forward to more visits from Rev Sue in 2022.
Christmas cheer!
On Christmas Eve, Mrs. Claus and Shorty the Naughty Elf visited our Residents and Staff at Ouse View Care Home, delivering fabulous Christmas Cards, handmade by the lovely pupils of Dunnington Primary School, together with minty candy canes for everyone. After a recital of "T'was The Night Before Christmas", Mrs. Claus passed on Santa's good wishes, bidding everyone to be nice today, and to be in bed early so he can maybe leave a parcel or two. Our Residents were thrilled!
All Wrapped Up
Here at Ouse View Residents are feeling very festive, wrapping presents for their loved ones this afternoon.
We're all looking forward for Mrs Claus to arrive here at Ouse View in the coming days.
Merry Christmas!
Christmas Jumper Day
Staff here at Ouse View in Fulford were very happy to support the Friday Christmas Jumper or Top day for Save the Children, each donating £2 per person. Residents loved the efforts of the staff and Relatives who sent in their pictures too, showing their support and love for the day.
Ouse View Residents and staff are all warmed up and feeling loved over the Christmas period, what a wonderful time of year.
