Cramlington House residents visit a local garden centre

 

Cramlington House residents recently enjoyed a marvellous day out at a local garden centre, highlighting the importance of community interaction and connection with nature for general wellbeing.

Residents really enjoyed their visit to the garden centre as they looked around at the wide variety of plants and flowers on display. It was a great sensory experience for them that brightened their day and provided a lovely calming and relaxing effect on the residents’ mood.

Kim Stubbs, our Wellbeing Champion at Cramlington House, said: “Days like these are a breath of fresh air for our residents. You can see their eyes light up with every new flower they come across. It’s not just about the beautiful sights, but also about the rich scents, the textures of the plants they touch and the overall calming atmosphere. This interaction with nature is invaluable for mental and emotional health.”

What people are saying

  • "I am very pleased with how my mother has settled in and generally how supportive and caring the staff are. This has given us peace of mind knowing that she is safe & well looked after. Thank you."

  • "Our mum has been a resident at Cramlington House for over a year and we have nothing but praise for the friendly, approachable staff and management. We always feel like part of an extended family and when we visit nothing is too much bother. We are completely happy with the standard of care, support and understanding we all receive as a family."

  • "From the first day, I knew it was the place for my mum. Clean, friendly staff, lovely environment! My mum would not get the opportunity to do the activities she is experiencing if she was not in Cramlington House. It is home from home and we can visit anytime. I can't say enough of how great Cramlington House is. "

  • "This is an absolutely superb care facility. The staff say that this is the home of the residents, in which they work - and they evidence that philosophy every day. In the last months of our mother's long life, we took comfort form the fact that she was safe and secure, being well-fed and looked after. The entire care team are brilliant. "

  • "All the staff at West Farm have provided such wonderful care, compassion and support to my auntie. We both feel incredibly lucky to have found West Farm, it’s been the perfect home for my auntie. I can honestly say, hand on heart, every aspect of the care provided by each member of staff at West Farm has been outstanding."
