Everyone should be able to continue to engage in and enjoy the hobbies and activities they have participated in throughout their life. At Stanley House we offer a full range of activities to ensure our residents can remain mentally stimulated and keep physically active.

We have a dedicated team of activity facilitators who work across both of our care homes to deliver interesting, stimulating and varied activities throughout the week. Regular events on our timetable include visits from popular external singers and stage performers, arts and craft classes, a baking group, gardening, gentle sporting events including bowls and balloon tennis, quizzes, visits to museums and places of local interest, local parks, pubs, farm trips, the cinema and many more.

Our residents look forward to the regular visits from Derby County Community Trust to join in with their Forever Active programme. Another exciting timetable event for us all is our regular visit from the local nursery children - as part of our FLAGs programme (Friendship and Learning Across the Generations). Of course, our residents are also encouraged to continue enjoying their existing hobbies. If there is a passion for knitting, jigsaws, crosswords or simply relaxing in a quiet space with a good book or their newspaper, our team will be on hand to assist.
