Activities at Park View Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Park View Care Home
GSF Care homes Training Programme
6 years ago we began to participate in GSF care homes training programme. The Programme assists in supporting elderly residents as they near the end of their lives. We are very proud to be accredited. We submitted an e-portfolio in April this year, we embedded the learning into our practice, our staff are competent and confident in supporting our residents as they approach the end of their lives.
We received a platinum accreditation!
Completing this programme has helped us to avoid hospital admissions during end of life care, and we have been able to work closely with our GP and end of life facilitator to reduce hospital admission and ensure that residents are able to spend their last days in a place of their preference, I would like to say a massive thank you to all the staff who have made this possible.
Watching The Cricket
This week we watched the Essex vs Surrey cricket match at our local grounds. We were delighted to be supported by the grounds team to get our residents into great positions to enjoy the match.
Sports, cultural and local attraction outings are a key part of our life enrichment programme.
Leisure Centre Visit
It has been an active week at Park View with a visit to Babbington Leisure Centre for some very competitive games of badminton and table tennis.
We are led by our residents when designing our activity planners and try to include a range of active, social and fun activities.
Pub Visit
This week we made the most of sunshine by taking residents to enjoy a local pub beer garden. Life continues as before at Park View and we encourage all of our residents to enjoy the same past times that they always have.
