Activities Programme

At Bothwell Castle Care Home, we believe that a lively and varied activities programme is essential for supporting residents’ wellbeing, independence, and sense of community. Our dedicated team works closely with residents to create a calendar filled with opportunities for fun, creativity, and connection, ensuring that everyone can find something to enjoy each day. Activities are thoughtfully planned to suit a wide range of interests, abilities, and needs, helping to make life at Bothwell Castle engaging and fulfilling for all.

Live Life to the Full

Our regular schedule includes a blend of classic favourites and new experiences, from daily exercise sessions and movie afternoons to arts and crafts, knitting, baking, and board games. Residents can look forward to themed events such as Friday Funday, coffee afternoons, and a weekly men’s pub afternoon, as well as the ever-popular bingo and pet therapy sessions.

Clubs and community links are an important part of life here, with a Monday Club at the local church and a Wednesday pub afternoon offering additional opportunities for socialising. Large group activities take place in our inviting lounges, tea room, and gardens, while smaller groups and one-to-one sessions ensure that every resident can participate in a way that suits them best. Loved ones are always welcome to join in with activities, whether for special events or simply to spend quality time together.

Our Activity Coordinators are fantastic when it comes to encouraging our residents to try new things and they’re also great at making sure that those residents who still want to carry on with what they’ve been doing for years, still get the opportunity to do the things they love.

A Little Competition

We are committed to making our activities programme inclusive and adaptable, particularly for residents living with dementia, cognitive impairments, or mobility challenges. Our team offers personalised assistance and tailors activities to individual needs, encouraging everyone to take part and enjoy meaningful engagement. For those who are less mobile or bed-bound, we provide a range of activities such as pet therapy, audiobooks, one-to-one companionship, and relaxing hand massages or nail care.

Residents are invited to share their ideas and help plan future activities at regular meetings every three months, ensuring that our programme continues to reflect their interests and preferences. Intergenerational events, including visits from local schools and nurseries, further enrich daily life, fostering a sense of connection and belonging within the wider community.
