Therapeutic activities

As well as a full roster of social activities, we also offer a schedule of therapeutic activities. These therapeutic activities are especially designed to bring each of our residents to their maximum level of ability, independence and social confidence. Ultimately, making each day more enjoyable and improving mental health and wellbeing. These activities are especially developed around the needs and preferences of the individual, including their social, leisure and medical requirements as well as religious beliefs.

Relative contact and personal preferences

Together, the service user and their family members help us to understand the life story of the individual, and it is this deep level of understanding that enables us to provide the best possible care to their loved one. That’s why we keep in close contact with relatives regularly and strengthen our bond with the resident through day-to-day contact and reminiscence sessions. We continuously use information gained from interactions with family and the resident to refine the plan of care to the individual. This bespoke approach enables us to achieve the aim of our dedicated dementia care - which is to maintain a person’s uniqueness throughout the challenges they face.

Weekly organised trips

Thornbury Care Centre has its own minibus which means service users can enjoy trips out weekly with staff and our team of activity coordinators. We also welcome families to join their loved ones on any of these weekly trips.
