Activities at East Anglia Care Homes
At Sutherlands we strive to improve the lifestyle of our residents through several weekly activities to help engage their minds and excite their day to day life. We believe it is important to have one-to-one sessions with our residents so we can gain a personal insight into their interests and hobbies, that way we can recreate them within the home to give them a sense of normality. By introducing new and exciting activities and experiences we can develop new skills and increase their confidence and self-esteem. To achieve this, we provide a varied activities programme that will complement the interests of our residents and are suited to their different capabilities.
Mary Cousin
Mary Cousin is a retired Reverend of the Methodist Church. She is a frequent visitor of the home and welcomes all to join in her church service. The residents love to gather together to listen to her services and sing along with her to different hymns. She is fantastic at waking up the sense asking the residents to remember smells and sounds familiar to their past to interpret into her services.
