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!
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Pentland View Care Home
Pumpkin Painting
To get in to the spooky spirit, residents painted pumpkins that we will use as decorations at our Halloween party. As you can see, the creative juices were4 flowing!
World Food Day
For World Food Day, residents took a culinary tour of the world, sampling foods from various countries. We had polish kielbasa, Spanish chorizo, gazpacho and pickled garlic, Indian samosas, German pretzels and wafer biscuits, Italian and British cheeses, American corn dogs, and Japanese tempura prawns. Everyone enjoys a good nibble.
Halloween themed Zumba with Steph
Our monthly session of Zumba with Steph was Halloween themed this month, and saw residents and staff alike doing their best ghoulish impersonations! What a laugh we all had. We look forward to these sessions each month and always end feeling so happy and uplifted.
Out and About in the local community
The residents all enjoy getting out and about in the local community, whether to help with shopping for around the home, for a meal, or for personal errands. It’s always nice to see familiar faces around the town and stop for a chat, reminisce about how things have changed, and to have a good old browse round the shops! Recently we have been to the garden centre in Castletown to get bulbs for planting round the front of the home and then to the Pentland for coffee, to Lidl for Halloween pumpkins and goodies and decorations for our upcoming party, to the Holborn for a meal, and through the charity shops for rummage items and then to the Y-Not for a coffee.
Virtual afternoon at the theatre
Residents across our services had a fantastic time enjoying the virtual screening of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. Frank Spencer’s comical misadventures had everyone laughing and it was wonderful to see so many happy faces.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and a special thanks to The Barn Theatre in the Cotswolds for bringing this stage adaptation of the beloved sitcom to our screens.
Music to the soul
Throughout September, we were lucky to have three musical guests in to play for us.
We enjoyed Hugh Dent into sing his traditional favourites, Alan Small in to play the accordion, and local musician and friend Robbie MacDonald in to play as well. Everyone enjoys the live music, and as you can see, they love to get up and have a dance too! We had so much fun singing and dancing along.
