Experience has taught us that providing care home activities and opportunities for social interaction are really important for quality of life. Our Activities Coordinators organise a range of activities every day from 10.00am. The list of activities includes themed lunches, arts and crafts sessions, gentle exercises, games, quizzes, ball games and hand massage. Whatever our residents’ passions and interests our Activities Coordinators are keen to put on activities that they enjoy.

We welcome guest entertainers who provide singing, music, magic shows, animal handling sessions, theatre productions, mini concerts and much more. Family and friends are welcome too. Another regular visitor to St Martin’s is our friendly West Highland Terrier called Joey who loves a fuss and a biscuit or two.
