Daily Life

The Penns Mount team is here to support and nurture the activities of daily living.

Residents are encouraged to retain familiar routines, habits and lifestyles. By building personal relationships it is possible to understand the whole person and develop meaningful activities to enhance their enjoyment of living.

Individuals benefit from taking part in normal life in the community. Life should continue and not stop when someone enters our care home. Depending on the individual, accompanied visits to shops, local parks, the pub or attending church services can make life more meaningful and fulfilling. If outside visits are not possible, we endeavour to bring the community to Penns Mount by way of our activities programme. (See Activities)

Here at Penns Mount we offer a range of physical, emotional and social activities, we have a dedicated activities co-ordinator who arranges lots of fun and entertaining activities for our residents from quizzes to sing a longs, arts and crafts to light exercise classes.

We also have entertainers who come to Penns Mount care home from singers to local school groups. We appreciate that not all our residents are able to leave the home, so we have a mobile hairdresser who comes in once a week and who also does aromatherapy.

We know how important it is for families to stay involved in their loved one’s care, there is monthly newsletter which is emailed out to all family members keeping them updated with entertainment, news and pictures.
