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
Fun in the sun
With the mini heatwave we had recently, residents enjoyed getting out and about and enjoying it while it lasted! From spending time in our beautiful garden, to trips in the mini-bus, residents sure knew how to make the most of the beautiful days.
In the garden, residents enjoyed singing and dancing to music specially curated by themselves to our Spotify account, and also a wee session of relaxing yoga!
Residents also hit the road and enjoyed trips to the library and to local sweetie and ice cream shop, Banjo’s. The ice creams were then enjoyed by the sea, as was only right in such a glorious day!!
On the road....
Willie and Sandra were delighted to join residents from our sister home in Wick on a trip to Inverness. After a lovely meal in Weatherspoon’s, it was time to do some shopping!
While the gentlemen headed to Howden’s garden Centre, the ladies were off to Leakey’s Books and the had a lovely coffee outside Miele’s Gelateria. Next stop was The retail centre for the Works, as the ladies still needed to find their books! Here, they happily took advantage of the multi-buy deals and left very happy customers.
Finally, after a stop at Costa, we boarded the mini bus once again and headed home. It was lovely watching the scenery and chatting about it along the way.
Cornish Seal Sanctuary
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.
You Take the High Road
The Thurso and District Pipe Band visited recently and played for the residents in our lovely garden. As they played in the garden, all residents throughout the building could hear and enjoy, as well as watch from their windows. Residents in the main lounge enjoyed the music so much that they were up and on their feet, having a dance and making for a jolly time!
Cheers to Your Health!
On World Beer Day residents enjoyed a sampling of beers from around the world, as well as nibbles to go with. For those who don’t like beer, there were cocktails and soft drinks on hand so that they, too, could join in on the fun! Residents toasted each other and enjoyed their tastings and spent the afternoon chatting and listening to their favourite toons while enjoying pineapple, cheese and crisps.
Monthly Takeaway night a hit!
Residents once again enjoyed their monthly takeaway night. Each resident chose which type of takeaway they fancied, and we went to three different places this month to satisfy everyone’s cravings. Food was enjoyed from Robin’s Chippy, Pride of Bengal Indian Takeaway and Thurso’s Best Kebab. Residents enjoyed their meals along with glasses of fizzy and good chat from good company!
