Who says adventures stop when you live in a care home?

It doesn’t have to be like you imagine, sitting around a dated living room in the shape of a horseshoe, several chairs pointed at the television from dawn till dusk.

Care homes can bring adventure, new beginnings and big achievements in later life.

Homes within the Millennium Care Group, including the newly completed Langtree Care Home, which is part of the Standish Care Village, prioritise person-centred care. Staff find out what makes a resident tick, what they’ve always wanted to do or even what they think they can no longer do!

Working with residents to tick off bucket list items is something homes take pride in. Recently, Worthington Lake Care Home took a resident scuba diving, a Lavender Hills Care Home resident was able to restart netball, and a retired Reverand, Roger, at Norley Hall has even started to deliver his own Sunday service!

There are also personal quests, items that support independence, like Elaine at Langtree, who, with the help of the home’s staff, is now able to write letters again by mixing perseverance and a special device.

Valuing a non-pharmacological approach to care, Millennium homes all sit within a setting that helps residents connect with the environment.

Lavender Hills, which looks over the Rossendale Valley, has landscaped gardens and a private fishing lake and allotment. Homes at the Standish Care Village sit on a 9-acre woodland site with private access to Worthington Lakes, while Norley Hall has various beautiful patios and gardens.

The connecting lands promote adventure, various activities and opportunities to engage all the senses.

And if we want to go further afield, each home has access to a minibus. The North West is full of wonder, whether it’s the shores of the west, the lakes to the north or the hustle and bustle of the vibrant cities and towns that shape our communities.

And as the winter months roll in, our homes create adventure and excitement through the dull days – themes, parties and celebrations are around every corner.

So, what are you waiting for? Come and find out how a Millennium home can give your loved one a new lease of life!
