We celebrate life and make sure the residents we support do too!

At Oaklands Rest Home, it’s not just about the exceptional care we provide – it’s about ensuring our residents live life to the fullest. That’s why our Lifestyle Coordinators work tirelessly to create an imaginative and varied calendar of activities, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Our activities include:

Person-centred activities based on residents’ hobbies and interests, discovered during our reminiscing sessions and through conversations with relatives.
Arts & crafts and baking sessions to inspire creativity and joy.
Gardening and the Oaklands walking group, for those who love to enjoy the fresh air and the beauty of nature.
Armchair exercises designed to maintain strength, flexibility, and overall health.
Lively sing-a-longs that bring energy and fun into our community.
Visiting musicians and singers, bringing live performances right to our doorstep.
Interactive technology with puzzles, sensory games, and more to keep minds sharp and engaged.
Inter-generational activities, including regular visits from a local toddler group, creating heartwarming connections between the generations.
Themed days, where Oaklands comes alive with different events, from Texan barn dances to summer carnivals, offering residents the chance to decorate the home and celebrate.
Animal therapy sessions, where residents can interact with friendly, well-trained animals to promote relaxation, comfort, and emotional well-being.
Outings, including trips to local garden centres and beaches, offering residents the chance to explore the surrounding areas and enjoy a refreshing change of scenery.
Annual events, such as our very own Chelsea Flower Show, Summer Fete, Sports Day, and many more

Celebrations are also a big part of life at Oaklands. We love to bring together residents and their families to celebrate birthdays, reunions, and anniversaries. Families are welcome to use a dedicated space within the home to make these special moments even more memorable. Click here to hear more from our team.

Of course, we understand that relaxation is just as important. That’s why we’ve created cosy corners throughout Oaklands, where residents can sit back with a newspaper, enjoy a hand massage, or simply relax and unwind.
