Activities at Seaview House Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators are constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we support by organising group and individual activities for anyone and everyone to participate in. There are exercise classes and a walking group, regular outings in the minibus to nearby places of interest including local concerts, as well as weekly visits from a PAT dog, and regular visits from musicians and entertainers, as well as church services which are held twice a month. We also host a weekly social event in which we encourage residents from the whole home to socialise together.
Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained, and that life at Seaview is fun and active.
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 Seaview House Care Home
Individual Fun
Not everyone likes group activities so we like to be varied at Seaview and we meet residents needs and give them what makes them happy. It could be reminiscing with old Broons books, doing Puzzles or even just chatting. We have had several individual sessions this month.
Fun in the Sun
Our residents have made the most of the beautiful weather this week and had most activities in the garden including Bingo, Newspapers and World Beer day with a nice cool beer and the paddling pool out to help cool those feet down and Ice creams all round. Everyone said it was good to be able to use our garden for activities.
RAF Hendon
Across our services we had a lovely time joining Rhiannon Watkinson from the RAF Museum London for an interactive talk exploring the exciting and innovative aviation history of Hendon.
Our residents were able to learn about the first flights from the fields at Hendon, the creation of the London Aerodrome and Battle of Britain pilots who flew from RAF Hendon.
The talk also included photographic and film material from the Museum’s archive. Residents across our homes had a fantastic time and we truly enjoyed the virtual experience.
Coronation Celebrations
Residents enjoyed 3 days of Coronation Celebrations at Seaview. Family were invited to attend our Tea Party fit for a King and our Street Party Buffet lunch. Everyone had a great time watching the new King being crowned and then eating all the wonderful food prepared by our chef. Our home was full of red, white & blue decorations which added to the celebrations.
Residents visit local Memorial
Seaview residents were delighted to pay a visit to a new local memorial – Seafarers Memorial. The new bronze monument is situated at the brae-head in wick and the residents were emotional as it was in memory of all those that had lost their lives at sea around the Caithness coastline. They paid their respects and said it was an outstanding memorial.
60th Anniversary Celebrations
Resident James & his wife Helen celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary within Seaview with a big family get together. A buffet and cake was supplied by the family who had full use of our main lounge. It was quite an emotional party for them will all their kids and grandchildren attending. Then James went home to spend the day with Helen at their house.
