Activities at Pentland 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 Pentland View Care Home
Valentine's with Veg for Life
We had a lovely time joining Chef Alex Connell from Vegetarian for Life for a Valentine’s-inspired virtual cookery demonstration. Chef Alex created some delicious Valentine’s Day-inspired vegetarian desserts, which our residents had the opportunity to try too.
First, our residents sampled a wonderful sticky toffee pudding, which was absolutely heavenly. Then they tried hazelnut truffles which were a huge hit and finally they were treated to a chocolate orange cake which everyone adored.
Busy bees
A big thank you to everyone for all the donations for the Blythswood shoeboxes. Our kind residents have been beavering away packing them into boxes to bring a smile to those in need this Christmas. Here are some of our Stroma residents in action.
Home donate to local appeal
Thanks to a great team effort by our residents and staff, and donations from family and friends, we have donated 65 shoeboxes to the Blythswood Appeal. Thank you to Rev David Malcolm, who came to collect them on behalf of St Peter's and St Andrew's Church. Photos were taken before the current visiting restrictions.
Christmas cards
Our residents have been thinking of their families this week and have been busy making them Christmas cards. Watch this space to see our Christmas decorations including our new Christmas lights in the garden!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from Stroma unit! And a sneak preview of our outside Christmas lights!
Magic of the Nutcracker
We experienced the magic of the Nutcracker with a special interactive workshop led by English National Ballet Associate Artists.
Our residents were able to take a magical journey thorough Edwardian London and to learn more about the enchanted Nutcracker characters: Clara, the Mouse King, and her valiant Nutcracker doll.
The session included a chair-based dance workshop, clips of the ballet on stage and a Christmas carol sing-along, truly enjoyed by all.
