Easter activities for the elderly

Celebrations such as Easter are incredibly special and poignant to a number of our residents for religious reasons, or simply for the important memories associated with these special occasions which we celebrate numerous times throughout our lives. 

We feel that due to the benefits to our residents it is important to encourage our homes to think independently and design activities suited to each homes resident group, to ensure our activities are inclusive for all and to give the most enriching experience possible. This is something we are incredibly passionate about as an organisation and are proud to see the amazing ways our staff and residents celebrated Easter 2025!

A walk in the garden

Walking in a care home garden offers numerous benefits for residents, including increased physical activity, enhanced mental well-being, and social interaction.

Gardens provide a connection to nature, reduce stress, and can even trigger memories, particularly for residents with dementia.

Mother’s Day activities for the elderly

Mother’s Day isn’t always about gifts and cards; it’s when we celebrate our mums and get to spend quality time with them.

As we grow older, it is easy to get lost in our day-to-day responsibilities and miss out on valuable time with our loved ones. That’s why days like Mother’s Day allow us to stop and celebrate our loved ones and in this case, our wonderful mums.
