Full Activities Programme

At Deeside Care Home, we believe that an engaging and fulfilling activities programme is central to our residents’ wellbeing and happiness. Our approach is truly resident-led, with regular opportunities for everyone to share their ideas and preferences. We hold quarterly meetings with residents to review and plan our activity schedule, ensuring that the programme reflects what our community genuinely enjoys. Ongoing feedback is always welcomed and accommodated, so our events and activities remain fresh, meaningful, and tailored to the interests of those who call Deeside home.

We encourage our residents to do what makes them happy, whether that’s exploring the gardens and grounds here at Deeside, socialising with their friends and family, or stretching their legs and adventuring into Aberdeen’s city centre. Our Activity Coordinators have a fantastic time organising plenty of exciting activities for our residents to take part in, including dementia-friendly activities. Although we do have a minibus to take our residents from excursion to excursion, Deeside is in such a great location that if loved ones wanted to join in the fun, there are plenty of nearby public transport options available.

Never a Dull Moment at Deeside

If you want to focus on staying active, or you’d rather spend your days really harnessing your creativity, there really is never a dull moment while staying with us here at Deeside Care Home. We’re very strong believers in the idea that no two days should be exactly the same, and for our residents, we want nothing more than to make that idea even more of a reality.

Our activity calendar is rich and varied, with something for everyone to look forward to each week. We are proud to host a number of community-focused events, such as Moo Music sessions with babies and visits from local nursery children, creating wonderful intergenerational experiences that bring joy to both residents and our youngest visitors. Regular highlights also include Wine and Cheese evenings, where residents can relax and socialise in a convivial atmosphere, as well as therapy pet visits that offer comfort and companionship. These activities are thoughtfully designed to encourage social connection, stimulate the mind, and promote emotional wellbeing.

Live Life Your Way

Just because our residents have relocated to come and join us at Deeside, doesn’t mean that the way in which they live their life needs to drastically change. We want our residents to continue to live life their way, and our activities have been designed to not interfere with that in the slightest.

Family and friends are always welcome to join in with our activities, making it easy for loved ones to share in the fun and create special memories together. Whether it’s attending a community event, joining a themed evening, or simply spending time together during a pet therapy session, our doors are open. At Deeside Care Home, we are committed to providing a vibrant, inclusive, and ever-evolving activities programme that truly enriches daily life for all our residents.

Full Activities Programme FAQs

Our activities are offered daily so that our residents never have to experience the same day twice. We try to make changes to our schedule as often as possible to ensure that all of our residents can expect something new and exciting.

We offer a wide array of activities and amenities. From planned day trips filled with retail therapy and visiting attractions, to on-site activities such as pamper sessions or bingo tournaments.

We have lots of books, magazines and craft resources ready and waiting for when the artistic desire strikes. If you’re up for a mentally stimulating afternoon, we offer quizzes, board games and jigsaws. If you’re more socially inclined, we have in the past hosted wine and cheese evenings as well as welcome musicians and theatre productions.

We plan so many activities for our residents because we don’t think that a change of location equals a change of lifestyle. By the time our residents fully move into our home, they’ve already undergone stress and uncertainty.

We strive to offer each and every one of our residents something they personally have an interest in for a higher level of engagement and participation. We plan so many events and activities because we’re all about enhancing the lives of older people.
