Local Charity Enhances Wellbeing Activities at West Farm

We are delighted to be working in partnership with Justice Prince, a local Longbenton charity that supports the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the local community through active engagement and involvement.

As part of a funded initiative to play a role in improving the lives of older people in the community of Longbenton, the charity is visiting residents each week to provide a range of interactive and engaging exercise sessions that are appropriate to the specific needs of those residents taking part.

The sessions are fun, relaxed and also involve a little bit of singing to some classics that residents are familiar with.

Our Manage at West Farm, Trish Giles, said: “The work Justice Prince do for the local community is phenomenal, not just those in elderly care but other vulnerable groups too such as young people or those suffering hardship and feeling isolated. The charity’s person-centred ethos that places local people at the heart of every process is similar to Craig Healthcare’s approach, where the focus is on providing a high quality of personal care based on the individual and their bespoke needs. As well as the exercise sessions, residents also enjoy the good old sing song provided too!”

Justice Prince complement our weekly wellbeing activities perfectly; and are a great addition to West Farm. Residents are already sharing their thoughts and experiences of the sessions with staff and visiting friends and family – it’s definitely receiving a thumbs up so far.

We’re looking forward to sharing photos and feedback from future Justice Prince led activities, watch this space!

"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."
