Varied Activities Programme

When you stay at Haddington Care Home, we want every day to feel rewarding and full of possibilities. Residents are encouraged to keep enjoying familiar hobbies while also having the chance to try something new. Our activity programme includes regular staples such as daily exercises, weekly entertainers, sporting memories sessions, and a variety of board and table games, ensuring there is always something meaningful to take part in.

The planning of activities is shaped by our residents’ input. Regular meetings give everyone the chance to suggest new ideas to ensure the programme reflects personal interests and seasonal opportunities. For those living with dementia or cognitive impairments, our activities are tailored to suit varying needs, and 1:1 sessions are available, including room visits for residents who prefer quiet time away from communal spaces.

We welcome family and friends to join activities at any time, as we understand the importance of maintaining current relationships as well as making new ones. Our connections to the local community are also strong, with regular intergenerational sessions bringing a lively mix of ages into the home.

A Varied Lifestyle

Life at Haddington offers variety both inside and outside the home. Activities take place in different lounges across the floors, with spaces rotated so everyone can enjoy a change of setting during the week. Larger events often happen in the main lounges, while small group activities and 1:1 sessions are arranged wherever they are most comfortable for residents.

Our outings make the most of East Lothian’s Royal Burgh of Haddington, offering trips to the local garden centre, museums, or along the River Tyne. The chauffeured minibus makes these adventures more accessible and enjoyable for our residents. Indoor options remain plentiful, with games, sporting memories discussions, music sessions, and arts and crafts providing regular chances to reminisce and enjoy something hands-on.

Easy Living

Life here is designed to be straightforward and enjoyable, no matter your care needs. That might mean reading quietly in a lounge, enjoying afternoon tea served in their room, or a trip with a visit to the hair salon before stepping into the minibus for a leisurely ride. This results in a community where residents can choose what matters most to them each day, supported by a team that knows that even small moments can bring genuine joy.
