Resident of the Day Maureen enjoys trip to the park

There are lots of options throughout the month for residents to engage in activities outside of the often busy and loud group sessions. One of these options is a ‘Resident of the Day’ scheme run by the Lifestyle Coordinators, which gives each person living at Buchan House the opportunity to choose what they would like to do on their special day each month.

The resident of the day scheme aims to make sure each resident feels valued on a personal level and ensure their wishes are continually being met.

During each resident’s focus day, Lifestyle Co-ordinator Debbie will ask if there is anything they would particularly like to do; this could be to joining in with the scheduled activities or doing something entirely different.

Maureen is a resident at Buchan House and loves meeting with Debbie. She enjoys spending time in the outdoors, so walking to the local park is a frequent request on her special day. As you can see from the pictures, they both had a brilliant afternoon venturing out to the park behind Buchan House and playing on the equipment. It’s only a short walk but it really helps Maureen to clear her head and share any worries or anxieties she may have.

After any adventure together, they both sit back, have a cup of tea with each other and enjoy discussing their favourite parts of the day.

If you have any suggestions of activities that may benefit your relative or if you wish to attend your relative’s ‘Resident of the Day’, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
