Varied Activities Programme

At Hazelwood Care Home, we believe that you should be able to make the most out of your stay each and every day. Therefore we encourage all residents to carry on doing what makes them happy, whether it’s reading a novel in the Library or participating in some gardening. We strive to provide a variety of choices in order for residents to have everything they need to live the life they want.

Our Activity Coordinators ensure that a diverse programme is as accessible as possible, from arts and crafts to baking and film days. For those with memory loss, our Activities Programme includes a variety of activities and alternative therapies such as memory boxes and reminiscence. We also organise visits to popular places within Dartford on a regular basis, and we have great connections with the local community.

A Variety of Activities

At Hazelwood Care Home, we believe that no two days should feel the same. Our Activity Coordinators create a lively and engaging programme that offers something for everyone – whether residents prefer group sessions, quiet moments, or one-to-one support. Residents also have the opportunity to shape activities through life stories and care plans, making each day meaningful and personal.

Regular favourites include singalongs, quizzes, karaoke, music therapy, arts and crafts, film afternoons, barbecues, and birthday celebrations. We also offer more relaxing options such as afternoon tea, nail care, reading newspapers, and reminiscing over family photographs. Thanks to our VR set, residents can even explore destinations around the world without leaving their armchair.

Family members are always welcome to join in with activities, from big celebrations to everyday pastimes, helping to make life at Hazelwood truly special and inclusive.

Something for all Interests

We offer plenty of opportunities to stay connected with the community, including church services, nursery school visits, and presentations from local history groups. Popular in-home activities include animal therapy, exercise classes, karaoke, and the Daily Sparkle, which sparks conversation and reminiscence.

Our activities are always resident-led, with ideas and preferences shared at meetings and reflected in care plans.

Varied Activities Programme FAQs

At Hazelwood Care Home, we love the opportunity for residents to explore the local community. We often organise trips to the local areas such as Bluewater Shopping Centre, Beacon Wood Country Park, Eagle Heights Wildlife Foundation and Lullingstone Castle and World Garden including regular visits to theatres, pubs, cafes and museums.

Entertainers such as singers and musicians that come to our home are a hit with both residents and staff. Our residents can’t help but to sing along or tap their feet along 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

Because we believe that a new home should not mean a change in lifestyle, we 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 gain from the mental and social benefits.
