Activities
Our two activities coordinators are responsible for arranging a variety of stimulating activities for residents, enjoyed as a group or individually.
Staff are passionate about residents enjoying their daily lives whether in a group or on an individual basis.
You can see many of our latest activities on our news page, and we have a catalogue of past and upcoming events to view at Gracelands.
Regular events are organised for birthdays, celebrations, important
events or trips out.
Activities regularly include Arts & Crafts, Band Rehearsal, Singing Circle, Chair excercises and Chess club. The list goes on and on! Gracelands also has regular visitors performing music and signing.
Residents also visit social activities outside of the home which they may have attended before joining us, continuing their interests. We are happy to assist in the continuation of this.
