Activities Programme

Residents at Oakdene Care Home, we believe, should be able to make the most of every day of their stay here with us. Our dedicated team works incredibly hard to provide our residents with a variety of options so that residents have all they need to live a full and varied life. We encourage all residents to keep doing exactly what makes them happy, whether it’s reading in the garden or participating in a competitive game out on the bowling green.

Weekly events like sing-alongs, baking, and movie days are planned by our Activity Coordinators to be both exciting and accessible for all of our residents. For those with memory loss, our Activities Program offers a variety of activities and alternative therapies, such as memory boxes and reminiscing. We also organise a number of excursions to local attractions and have excellent contacts with the community.

Activities That Everyone Can Get Stuck Into

Every day, we work to create an environment in which residents can create positive and enduring memories. We value our residents’ capacity to make choices and manage their own lives, and we endeavour to provide them with as much autonomy as possible. Thanks to our skilled Activity Coordinators, residents have numerous opportunities each week to participate in a variety of exciting activities, either alone or in a group environment.

Activities Programme FAQs

At Oakdene Care Home we enjoy giving residents the opportunity to explore the local community. Local attractions include Moors Valley Country Park, The Ocean Project, Verwood Hub, Bournemouth Pier and plenty of local garden centres that are just waiting to be explored.

Entertainers such as singers and musicians are frequently invited into our home to entertain both residents and staff. It’s always great to see our residents sing along and tap their feet to the music, and we always encourage our residents to let their hair down. Visits from furry friends are also welcomed and encouraged, and residents really enjoy stroking and feeding them.

We believe that simply relocating should not imply a change in lifestyle, and we strive to provide a cheerful and stimulating atmosphere for our residents so that their move is less stressful. We take pride in providing a diverse and inclusive choice of activities that allow our residents to get the most out of their stay while also reaping the mental and social benefits that a stimulating activities programme can deliver.
