Activities for Older People – Right in the Heart of Your Community

From the time our guests arrive at our elderly day care centres until the time they leave they are treated with respect and individuality…

… including the freedom to choose from numerous outcome-based activities such as arts & crafts, board games, cinema, gardening and computer lessons.

Activities such as the ones on offer at Bardan not only offer companionship and enjoyment but are also proven to help stimulate the mind and increase our clients’ confidence, helping them to feel more capable and to increase their all round health and wellbeing.

A Typical Day at Bardon Cottage Senior Activity & Social Centre

  • 8-9am: Clients arrive, or our Care staff pick them up at convenient arranged times at their homes using the centre’s own private cars, mini bus or local disabled access taxi.
  • 10am: Socialising over coffee, tea and fresh baked treats.
  • 11am: Trip out to local site of interest or shops, or a traditional entertainer will put on a show.
  • 1-2pm: Freshly home cooked dinner is served in the dining area followed by after dinner drinks in the lounge.
  • 2pm: Clients pick their area in the home to participate in their choice of activity, should it be arts and crafts, board games, TV or internet, making use of the quiet room and library or heading outside to enjoy or potter around in the garden.
  • 4.30pm: Clients are picked up or returned home by care staff using the centre’s private vehicles or local disabled access taxi.
Although we understand the importance of structured environments we also understand that each of our elderly guests have assessed needs which are individual to them and we can plan our guest’s days around those needs.
