St Attracta - Relax & Socialise

For social interaction and entertainment we provide a wide choice of activities to enhance life in retirement. We recognise that as we age our ability to ‘do as we once did’ begins to diminish. Our philosophy however  is not to mourn what we can’t do but to celebrate what we CAN do and with this in mind we have an extensive activities programme facilitated by Theresa O'Shaughnessey.  Theresa is with our residents 5 days per week and with the help of Mai and other staff they ensure no day is the same.

Activities provided throughout the week include

• Mass on Wednesdays and other special days
• Anointing of the sick monthly
• Daily Rosary
• Bingo
• Card games
• Arts & Crafts
• Flower arranging and seasonal planting
• Daily exercise
• Weekly musician visits
• Reflexology (weekly visiting qualified reflexologist)
• Aromatherapy (weekly visiting qualified aromatherapist)
• Hand & Foot massage
• Baking
• Outings arranged to garden centres and places of interest
• 'Out to lunch’ to local restaurants during fine weather months
• Monthly residents council meeting facilitated by an advocate
• Birthday and family events celebrated
• Seasonal parties (Christmas, St Patricks Day, Halloween)
• "Sonas aPc" sessions for residents with problems communicating

Our residents are kept up to date with all  planned activities and events with daily notices on our notice boards. We also produce a monthly newsletter to ensure all residents are kept up to date with future events.
