There’s a very relaxed but lively pace of life at a Cedar Care home. We’re flexible about routines, and we let each person choose what they want to do, and when the day will begin and end for them.
They may choose to read quietly or watch TV in their room; do some
gardening; take part in a scheduled activity like armchair exercise,
enjoy some music or craft activities; play board games chat to
other Residents or our lounge assistants (who we describe as
‘professional visitors’).
Take a walk into any one of our homes during the day and you’ll bump into a wide variety of people helping us to create just the right environment. There may be an entertainer in the lounge treating us to a spot of music, a quiz or reminiscence session or a hairdresser across the hallway treating a resident to a new style. Each of these visitors contributes to that very important aspect of all our lives, which is social contact.
And of course there are friends and relatives who come to visit and often participate in activities. They are always welcome to join us for lunch, which is, in itself, a social event as almost everyone in the home gets involved in serving and helping the residents.
They are also invited to join the Residents for outings, fetes and seasonal celebration which are always a lot of fun, and create a real sense of community.
