Activities

Our activities team members are not just the life and soul of the home. They are the kindest, warmest and most enthusiastic people you could imagine. It is their kindness and dedication shown when reaching people who within their dementia or physical challenge find themselves in a dark place. Their focus on getting to know people is a Waverley stalwart and helping them find purpose and joy in the old and the new. Key to a quality of life for some being still involved in loved pastimes or new connection with others. Some people need a structure to their day in the form of social and purposeful activity. Others prefer a relaxed drop in and out program. The activities team across all units are invested in planning and organising and all residents can choose from personal pastimes or group activities. These include several social groups such as gentleman’s club and craft groups. Also, breakfast clubs, music groups, knitting club and exercise classes. Visits from outside entertainers are a popular choice. There are various therapies available such as Aromatherapy, guided meditation, Reflexology and Reiki.
