We work with the later life forum for organised days out which include trips each Tuesday supervised to various tea rooms and places of local beauty. With Sidmouth, Otterton Mill and Beer just a 15 minute journey away it is always a joy to get out and about.

We also encourage our residents to get out when the weather permits and many enjoy sitting amongst the flowers they have grown on the patio.

We have a gentle arm chair exercise class, organise carpet skittles and work with crafts. Recently we helped with poppy making and reminisce about the friends and family during the war, we try to encourage social activities and as much communication and stimulation as our residents wish. But sometimes people wish to sit and we allow space for each resident whilst giving a key carer for each that they may have a confidential ear, a person to communicate any issues through and a person responsible for their safety and well being.
