Activities at Strachan House Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.
Hannah Beale
Hello, I'm Hannah and I joined the Strachan House team in September 2024. I thoroughly enjoy being the Activities Coordinator, a role that delivers all-round support for our residents whilst organising an engaging, motivating and enjoyable activities programme.
I am lucky to spend quality time with residents and families, and use these opportunities to plan individualised events and outings. My professional background stems from seven years in planning corporate events and weddings, alongside social media marketing and recruitment.
In my free time, I enjoy exploring the Scottish countryside with my husband and dog after relocating from the south coast in 2024.
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 Strachan House Care Home
Musical Madness
This month at Strachan house we have been walking around with a melodic spring in our step! Music plays an integral role in day-to-day life here and we use every opportunity to incorporate it into our day!
Our friends at Forget-me-notes came in for a fun filled afternoon with wonderful reminiscent music from a range of eras. We belted out some Beetles, chorused with The Corries and Abba-solutely got our feet tapping. With the power to engage, uplift and create memories, it’s no wonder the turn out for our musical events leads to a full house!
Farewell Summer
Well, as we sit here and watch the rain fall from the windows, we think back to our most recent day out in the beautiful gardens of Strachan House.
As the weather changes, we are looking at our plans for the autumn season and can't wait to show you everything we get up to.
