At Alderbrook, we believe that staying active and engaged is just as important as feeling comfortable and cared for. Our varied activities programme is designed to support physical, emotional and social wellbeing, with something to suit everyone. From gentle exercise and music sessions to baking, arts and crafts or quizzes, there’s always something going on. We tailor our activities around the interests and abilities of our residents, ensuring that each day offers a choice of things to enjoy.
Whether it’s joining in with a group activity or enjoying a quiet one-to-one moment, our approach to activities is centred around inclusion and connection. We take time to get to know each resident – what they’ve enjoyed in the past and what brings them joy now – so that everyone can feel involved in a way that suits them. Friendships often blossom over shared interests, and we’re proud to see our home filled with conversation, laughter and companionship.
Our weekly timetable provides a comforting sense of structure, but there’s always room for spontaneity and fun. We celebrate birthdays and seasonal events, invite local entertainers and volunteers into the home, and enjoy regular visits from community groups. When the weather allows, we love to get outside – whether for a walk in the garden or a trip to a favourite local spot. Every activity is thoughtfully planned to encourage confidence, spark memories and make each day at Alderbrook feel special.
We offer a wide range of activities to suit different interests and abilities, including arts and crafts, music sessions, gentle exercise, quizzes, baking, and reminiscence activities. We also enjoy seasonal celebrations, visits from local entertainers, and outings to nearby places in the community when possible.
Not at all – every resident is free to choose how they spend their day. While we encourage involvement and offer support to join in, we always respect individual preferences. Some residents enjoy group activities, while others may prefer quiet one-to-one time or their own personal routines.
Yes, very much so. We take time to get to know each resident – their hobbies, history, and what brings them joy. This helps us tailor activities to suit different interests, cognitive abilities and mobility levels, so everyone can take part in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful to them.
Life at Alderbrook is all about feeling at home. From the moment someone arrives, they’re welcomed into a calm, caring environment where comfort, safety and wellbeing come first. With beautifully designed en-suite bedrooms, peaceful gardens, and a variety of shared spaces, including a cinema, hair salon and sensory rooms, there’s always somewhere to relax and spend time with friends and relatives.
At Alderbrook Care Home, care isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are. We support adults with a range of complex physical and mental health needs, including dementia, brain injuries, neuro-disabilities, and other long-term conditions. Whether someone is staying with us for a short period or has made Alderbrook their permanent home, our skilled team is here day and night to provide the right level of support, compassion and dignity.
Every care plan is tailored to the individual and their health needs, their routines, and the things that bring them comfort or joy. From specialist dementia support to complex nursing care, we focus on helping each resident live well and feel safe. No matter the challenges someone may face, we believe they deserve the chance to lead a meaningful life in a place that feels like home.
