Our Nursing Home in Leicestershire

Our Activities Coordinators love nothing more than organising a fun-filled activities schedule each week for residents, as we believe it’s important to provide engaging activities that are not just enjoyable but allow residents to experience new things and learn new skills.

We spend the time getting to know our residents in order to learn everything there is to know about them, including their likes, dislikes, strengths and abilities for us to incorporate within a resident’s personalised care plan. We ensure that the activities and social events we offer meet the many interests of our residents at our care home in Leicestershire.
