At Balmore Country House our aim is to make sure that our residents find every day fun and stimulating; we believe this should be the case regardless of anyone’s care needs. To help achieve this we hold a wide range of activities within the home, as well as organising trips to places of interest throughout the year.

A very popular choice with residents are our pet therapy sessions with our in house parrot called Poppy, who is often complemented by the numerous birds and occasional pheasants we see in our gardens. Other activities include weekly shows from outside entertainers, Mr Motivator exercise classes to help sustain mobility, and recently we have seen residents and staff join in together with bread and cake making. For those who like to stay in touch we have an iPad for Skype Internet use, and FaceTime is available for residents to use when they wish in our library area in the lounge. For the more independent residents we arrange trips out to the local shops. Whatever someone’s interests we are sure that there will be something for them at Balmore Country House.
