Activities Programme

A Variety of Stimulating Activities

Everything we do at Ridgeway Rise is built around the individual. Our Activity Coordinators are based across each floor of the home to ensure one-on-one support and flexibility, with access to supportive equipment for those with limited mobility. Whether a resident likes to stay active or prefers peaceful moments of creativity or reflection, we adapt the experience to match their energy, skills, and preferences. Families and loved ones are welcome to join in at any time and monthly activity calendars are sent out in advance so everyone can plan ahead.

We go above and beyond to include all resident, including who are bed-bound or prefer to remain in their suite by bringing the activity to them. From getting their nails done to enjoying sensory activities, music sessions, or a classic film, residents can continue to enjoy connection and fulfilment at their own pace, no matter their needs. We do the same with our care plans, and how we create them based on our residents’ preferences and biographies. At the same time, we introduce the residents to new technologies and solutions through virtual museum tours, interactive games on tablets and video calls with loved ones.

Engaging All Residents

Our activities programme is more than a schedule, it’s a vibrant mix of community, creativity and intergenerational interaction. Regular trips out are a resident favourite, whether visiting local landmarks, parks, or simply heading out for a quiet cuppa and some shopping. With a variety of clubs to choose from, residents find both routine and surprise in their days, from spontaneous games of balloon tennis to relaxing afternoons in the garden.

We love to celebrate a variety of “themed days”, such as Tuneful Tuesdays and our regular Sunday Service, as well as many others. What’s more, we are pen pals with the local school, which gives our residents inter-generational experiences where they can learn from the children and most certainly the other way round. We also offer school children to use our space for rehearsals for their dance or ballet shows, as well as visiting years 1 and 2 for their classes. Here at our Swindon care home, we want to prove that it is never too late to learn new things. So, whatever our residents learn at their in-house sign-language sessions or in our very own vegetable patch, they’re more than welcome to share.

Activities Programme FAQs

At Ridgeway Rise Care Home, we enjoy giving residents the opportunity to explore the local community. We have very strong links with our local community and love to take part in events in conjunction with friends and neighbours, such as a recent Alzeimer’s Society Memory Walk. We’re also proud supporters of Swindon Football Club.

We regularly invite entertainers such as singers and musicians into our home, to entertain both residents and staff. Our staff takes great delight in watching residents sing along or tap their feet to the beat. Pet therapy is also offered to residents, where furry animals visit the home and enjoy being petted and fed by the residents.

We believe that a new home should not mean a change in lifestyle and strive to provide a cheerful and stimulating atmosphere for our residents. We take pride in providing activities that are both diverse and inclusive, allowing our residents to get the most out of their stay and reap the various mental and social benefits that a stimulating activities programme can offer.
