Active mind & body

We believe one of the most significant things we do is keep the body and mind active. Social interactions and engagement are at the heart of everyday life, and it is important that continues when someone moves to Westcliffe.  

We encourage all our residents to continue with any hobbies or interests they may have, to maintain contact with their friends in the community and ensure all can access and feel comfortable practicing their religious/spiritual beliefs.  

Our team provides a stimulating and varied programme that will include quizzes and games, craft and painting sessions, live music/entertainers, flower arranging, gardening, exercise classes, baking, accompanied trips out and of course the much loved pamper sessions. We also consider those who prefer just a simple one on one session (a chat or a room tidy) – there is always something for everyone. 

We also do a lot of themed days, where staff and residents celebrate a special event in the calendar, such as: Halloween, Chinese New Year, St George’s Day, Diwali, US Independence Day, Wimbledon, Children in Need. Staff and residents alike usually need no encouragement to dress up for these occasions and all the highlights are recorded on our active Facebook page. 

Residents’ birthdays/milestones are celebrated in style and if a family wishes to organise something special (for any reason) we are happy to help with the arrangements, including booking any entertainment that might be required.

Our visitors' policy is very straightforward – you are welcome at any time.
