Arts & Crafts

We are committed to ensuring our residents lead happy and fulfilling lives. We take immense pleasure in offering a diverse array of activities and entertainment, which includes arts and crafts classes. Engaging in creative pursuits also brings a multitude of emotional and physical benefits to our residents.

Numerous Benefits

Arts and crafts sessions not only bring joy and happiness but also support mental, wellbeing, and physical advantages. We’ve observed that regular participation in arts and crafts groups enhances social connections among residents. Research also indicates that engaging in creative activities improves hand-eye coordination, memory, and motor skills. Regularly attending these sessions brings residents a wealth of benefits, and we take great delight in witnessing them flourish in a secure and comfortable environment.

Promoting Creativity

We are dedicated to nurturing creativity in every possible way. Whether it’s through participating in our arts & crafts sessions in our communal areas or finding inspiration in our beautiful garden, we actively encourage creative expression. We base a lot of our sessions on the seasons, our surroundings, and different materials, and sessions include card making, flower arranging, and painting.
