Arts & Crafts

Our Arts and Crafts activities offers residents a creative outlet to express themselves, develop new skills, and enjoy meaningful activities in a relaxed and supportive environment. We believe that engaging in creative pursuits can enhance wellbeing, boost confidence, and foster social connections. Our dedicated activities team works closely with residents to tailor projects to individual interests and abilities, ensuring everyone can participate and benefit from the joy of making art.

Creative Fun for All Abilities

From painting and drawing to knitting, collage, and pottery, our activities encourage creativity and self-expression at every level. The room is designed to be accessible and inspiring, with natural light, ample workspace, and all the supplies needed to spark imagination. This nurturing environment helps residents feel valued and engaged, offering relaxation and a sense of accomplishment.

For our residents who aren’t as creatively inclined, a lot of our classes have quite a lot of direction. This means that our classes usually begin with a clear goal in mind, whether that’s creating a mosaic or learning how to decoupage. All of our crafts are suitable for all ages, so we actively encourage our residents to invite their children and grandchildren along to share in the creative fun.
