Person Centred Activities

Person Centred Activities Spring 2023, a message from Denise Hill, Activities Coordinator at Birling House

As a person centred care home we do our upmost to fulfil our resident's wishes, whether it is arranging places they would like to visit or any activities they would like to try.  One of our residents has always wanted to go skiing.  We looked into this for him and made a safe decision to visit Capstone Park ski slopes where he thoroughly enjoyed the toboggan run and a hot chocolate in the apres ski lodge.

Two of our other residents are football enthusiasts and opted for trips to see their favourite teams.  While one went to see a Milwall home game, the other was lucky enough to visit the Westham Stadium with his best friend and son, and meet some of the players.  It is fair to say long lasting memories were created on these trips.

As Activities Coordinator at Birling House, myself and my team, along with all of the care staff always go the extra mile for our residents, whether it is a trip out, rainy day karaoke or just making someone smile.
