Leisure and Social Activities
Along with our ‘well being’ personal care activities like hairdressing, aromatherapy hand massage, chiropody and physiotherapy, Galtres care staff arrange in house activities on a daily basis. From sing-a-longs, outings to entertainment evenings, our residents are encouraged to enjoy social activities, hobbies and leisure interests, we particularly encourage residents to help with the garden.
Many residents find their social skills increase and the majority become more active once they feel settled at Galtres.
Our residents can choose whether to join in or just observe. Anyone preferring there own company is enabled to spend time
alone in the comfort of their own bedroom.
We consult residents individually with regard to what their interests may be and encourage them to continue them.
Relatives and friends are very welcome to attend any social event within the home and join us on external outings. We actively encourage residents to maintain social events they enjoyed before moving into Galtres and contact with family, friends and people within the community.
“This is an excellent care home, I’m very happy with the care given and attitude of the staff who are well mannered”
