At Needwood House, we believe that life should be full of variety, adventure, and special moments. That’s why we make sure there’s always something for everyone to enjoy, whether it’s a big day out or a smaller activity closer to home.
Recently, some of the residents have enjoyed fantastic trips that brought smiles, laughter and plenty of conversation. One of our residents spent a memorable Sunday at Hednesford Raceway, soaking up the excitement of the cars, the energy of the crowd and the thrill of being part of the action. It was an unforgettable day filled with atmosphere and enjoyment.
Meanwhile, others took part in a wonderful visit to Twycross Zoo. From watching cheeky monkeys swing through the trees to spotting majestic big cats, the day was filled with fascination and fun. Being around animals and in nature offered not only a chance to explore but also provided gentle exercise, fresh air and the opportunity to reminisce about past experiences.
Days out like these are about so much more than sightseeing. They encourage social interaction, boost mood, reduce stress and create lasting memories. For residents, outings can reignite old interests, spark conversation and provide a refreshing change of scenery.
Of course, we know that not every resident wants a big day out, which is why we balance these adventures with creative sessions, relaxing pastimes and inclusive activities within the home. By tailoring what we do to meet different needs and preferences, we make sure that everyone at Needwood House has the chance to join in, stay engaged and most importantly, have fun.
Rachel, Manager at Needwood House, shared:
“Trips like these are so important for our residents. Whether it’s the excitement of the raceway or the calm of watching animals at the zoo, you can see the difference it makes to people’s mood and wellbeing. We’re proud to offer a wide range of experiences that allow everyone to take part in a way that suits them best.”
A huge thank you to our dedicated team for making these experiences possible, and to the residents for bringing so much enthusiasm and joy to every adventure.
