KEEPING BUSY AND HAVING FUN AT SHINFIELD VIEW CARE HOME
Hobbies & Pastimes
We are consistently amazed by and interested in our residents’ skills and abilities. There is so much to be learned by everyone from interacting in something they already enjoy, or something entirely new.
MUSIC, ART AND POTTERY
Arts & Crafts
A brilliant way to get the creative juices flowing, it turns out many of our residents are either already great artists or unearth a talent even they didn’t know they had! There is always something interesting and new to try, run by our brilliant activities manager, Laura.
STAYING ACTIVE AND HAVING FUN
Games Galore
If it’s summertime, you will usually find a group of boule players on our lovely lawn, possibly a chess set or two and definitely some card decks and so much more. Friendly competition is something residents really enjoy, be it strategy games or light physical activity, it benefits everyone and we’re always on the lookout for something innovative and new.
SHINFIELD VIEW OUTDOOR FUN & GAMES
Outdoor Activities
We designed such a lovely outdoor space for it to be used by everyone. Not only that, but it even extends to the first floor! Some residents enjoy a spot of bowls, or even short tennis, but whether it’s lounging in the summer sun, or watching the carol singers on the front lawn, our outside space is as much a part of life as the inside and it’s there for everyone to enjoy.
FOOD AND DRINK AT SHINFIELD VIEW CARE HOME
Staying healthy and hydrated
We are leaders in serving the best care home food and our brigade of chefs has always been chosen because of their creativity and desire to innovate.
Staying well through eating and drinking is a really important part of what we do at Shinfield View. We believe that the best way to ensure everyone receives the nutrition and hydration is to make everything simply brilliant, and that’s what our chefs do, every day.
Our hotel-stocked bar has everything residents could want in the way of drinks and if there’s something special that we have missed…well of course we’ll go and find some!
TAILORED HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE
Healthcare
Number one priority at Shinfield View is the health and wellbeing of our residents. As well as making sure our care is first-class, we work with the best healthcare professionals too, meaning our residents’ fitness is optimal and in line with their needs, desires and personal choices.
Personal Trainer
Maintaining optimal mobility is important to everyone and underpins their natural feeling of independence. Our own personal trainer, Stephen, is here to help individuals find out what works best for them and produces the best results. Little-and-often planned exercise is integral in the prevention of trips and falls.
Workplace Mental Health First Aider
Mental Wellbeing is so important, and so here at Shinfield View, we have two Mental Health First Aiders, Emma Warwick and Stephen Orwin who are able to support residents, relatives and staff. Sometimes all someone needs is a little more time to talk.
Chiropodist
Chiropody is vitally important to the health and wellbeing of the whole body. Maintaining healthy feet and ankles helps to mitigate against falls by keeping skin healthy, helping balance and strength in the lower legs.
A DEDICATED WELLBEING COACH AND PERSONAL TRAINER
Health and Fitness
Taking care of daily exercise and addressing any small issues early on helps to maintain our overall fitness and health. That is what our personal trainer is here to do!
Researchers agree that by taking regular, suitable exercise, the likelihood of falls and even dementia are reduced. There are so many ways in which we help residents maintain their strength and mobility, we guarantee something for everyone, regardless of previous exercise experience.
Whether it’s some group chair yoga in the morning or some Zumba in the afternoon, our in-house specialist Stephen Orwin is here to help you achieve the best you can be, so that you can greet each day with a smile.
