Life at Colinton

Our Rooms & Suites

At Colinton Care Home, we offer single en-suite bedrooms, thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and privacy for our residents. Many of these rooms feature views of our beautifully landscaped gardens, with some offering direct access through patio doors, allowing residents to enjoy the serene outdoor environment at their leisure.

Each bedroom is tastefully furnished, creating a homely atmosphere where residents can relax and feel at ease. We encourage personalisation of spaces, inviting residents to bring cherished belongings to make their rooms truly their own. This personal touch fosters a sense of familiarity and comfort, essential for wellbeing.

Arts & Crafts

At Colinton Care Home, we understand that nurturing creativity and providing our residents with engaging activities will enhance their wellbeing. Our regular arts and crafts sessions offer residents the opportunity to explore various artistic mediums, fostering self-expression and cognitive stimulation. These activities are tailored to individual interests and abilities, ensuring that everyone can participate and enjoy the creative process.

Our dedicated team organises a variety of projects, from painting and drawing to crafting and knitting, creating a vibrant and supportive environment. These sessions not only allow residents to develop new skills but also promote social interaction and a sense of accomplishment. The artworks produced are often displayed throughout the home, celebrating the talents of our residents and adding a personal touch to our communal spaces.

Private Gardens

We take pride in our extensive landscaped gardens, designed to provide a tranquil and stimulating environment for our residents. These outdoor spaces feature a variety of sensory areas, allowing residents to engage with nature through the sights and scents of diverse plantings. The gardens are adorned with mature trees and well-maintained green spaces, offering a peaceful retreat for relaxation and reflection.

Our gardens are thoughtfully designed to be accessible to all residents, including those with mobility challenges. Some of our single en-suite bedrooms offer views of the garden, and several ground-floor rooms have patio doors that open directly onto the outdoor areas, enabling residents to enjoy the fresh air and natural beauty right from their rooms. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll along the pathways, participating in gardening activities, or simply sitting outdoors to soak up the sunshine, our gardens play a vital role in promoting positive wellbeing and a connection to nature.

Games & Recreation

At Colinton Care Home, we believe in fostering an active and engaging environment for our residents. Our dedicated Activities Team organises a variety of games and recreational activities designed to promote social interaction, mental stimulation, and physical wellbeing. Residents can participate in group games such as bingo, board games, and card tournaments, which not only provide entertainment but also help build a sense of community and camaraderie among participants.

In addition to indoor games, we encourage residents to enjoy our beautifully landscaped gardens, where they can engage in light physical activities or simply relax and appreciate the outdoors. Our goal is to offer a diverse range of recreational options that cater to individual interests and abilities, ensuring that each resident finds joy and fulfillment in their daily routine.
