Romsey Nursing Home

Activities Page

Our Activities Co-ordinator ensures there is always something different happening every day. Residents can enjoy coffee mornings, barbecues during summer, music days, days out, fetes, painting and much more. Halloween and bonfire nights are always a family favourite along with the carol singing and fireworks.

Residents are free to visit the local shops, parks or pubs when they choose, and staff are always willing to accompany them if required. We are always ready to celebrate any birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions.

We firmly believe that participation is a residents choice and that is at the heart of our ethos.

From memory enhancing activities, and sensory stimulation, to gardening for the more 'green fingered' of resident or just a good old sing song, there is sure to be something for every resident to enjoy.

At Durban House our staff are dedicated to creating activities according to our residents' needs and interests. A lot of activities are on a group basis, which creates a real community spirit.

The following is just a brief list of activities that are all part of the care package on offer:

Hairdressing and Barber services
Chiropody services and Manicure
Aromatherapy and Physiotherapy
Newspaper and magazine delivery

We have a visiting library which supplies talking books and braille choices plus they welcome individual requests.

Religious services are also held in the Home regularly with pastoral visits available on request, for all religious denominations.

We also recognise the importance of reminiscence as a regular activity for people with Dementia and short-term memory loss and ensure that those whom wish to join this activity are fully supported. The Home makes use of the Alzeheimers Society publication 'Memories Are Made Of This'.
