Introduction

We recognise our clients have led a busy life, they may need time and a little patience both physically and psychologically to adjust to a changing environment through the onset of an illness or a disability

To enable clients to adapt to a different daily routine and to maintain independence, mobility, dexterity and choices in daily living Scio Healthcare offers entertainment and a range of activities

Some clients feel a sense of loss or frustration that they may no longer be able to carry on a normal daily home life, so we encourage clients to meet and to share their frustrations and also their interests.

Clients may wish to continue with certain interests or they may even have thought of trying something new. Please let us know and we will endeavour to help achieve their goals. There are shared activities as well as one-to-one time, for example puzzles, reading and knitting. An activities programme is displayed in each Home every month for information.We try to include something for everyone and hope that the following will be of interest.

Quizzes, musical movement (gentle exercise to music), visiting singers and musicians, bingo, various craft sessions, visiting pets, children visiting from local schools, sing-a-longs, slide shows and clothes shows.

Frequent coffee mornings also attract a lot of family and community support.

Scio Healthcare have their own minibus and occasionally short trips are arranged, these can be anything from sightseeing in local beauty spots to visiting the garden centre to enjoying afternoon tea and cakes.

We offer a selection of large print books and talking books which are available for those who are visually impaired.
