Enjoyable social activities in a group in, or from, a community setting. Working with the client, we develop activities based on preferred and stated interests, hobbies and abilities: bringing together people with a common interest, to participate together. Staff and volunteers are trained in supporting older people and people living with dementia. Some activities are tailored to support people with dementia to retain skills, and to participate at the level they are most confident and comfortable with. Programmes include group-based activities such as art/craft, social club (guest speakers, entertainment, bus trips), men’s group (including snooker, cards, cooking lessons), wellness group (massage and exercise). Activities are flexible depending on interests and skills people bring to the group. Centre-based activities currently held at Marion. Transport to and from the venue and personal assistance may be provided, depending on the person's circumstances.
