From painting and drawing through to flower arranging there is an array of craft options for residents to enjoy.

Being creative has a plethora of fantastic mental and physical benefits for our residents; combined with the social aspect attending group sessions offers, residents are almost certain to have fun and receive multiple benefits from attending these sessions.

Psychological Healing

We believe that the therapy of art, in its various forms, improves the quality of life for the elderly, which is why we have dedicated Activity Coordinators who strive to produce an engaging and varied Activities Programme where all residents can flourish. Sharing art activities can also be beneficial in building relationships between residents, staff, friends, family and the wider community. Arts & Crafts Sessions go way beyond simply colouring a picture, it presents a whole host of benefits and our staff witness the psychological benefits this type of group activity can have.

It is extremely important to us that every activity available here at Hazelwood Care Home can be enjoyed by all of our residents, including those living with Dementia and those with physical limitations.
