HOBBIES AND ACTIVITIES

We believe that moving in to our home shouldn’t mean that you have to stop doing things you enjoy.

Wavertree House has an extensive array of activity and entertainment to keep you occupied and having fun every day. Whether you would like to continue current hobbies, learn new pastimes, get out and about or prefer something a little more laid-back, you’ll find something to suit your needs.
Our dedicated activity team ensure there’s always something fun to do and develops our social programme with our residents, not for them.

Wavetree House has 2 dedicated activity rooms and a separate media room for residents who like to listen to their own brand of music or watch films.

We also have the advantage of a text reader in the media room so if you have difficulty reading letters, newspapers or small print the text reader can read it out for you. Ensuring you retain your privacy and independence

St Ann’s Garden’s, a community park with café, is just a short stroll up the road. With a bus stop nearby, residents have the freedom to come and go as they please.

We can support you to arrange transport to private appointments, social visits, places of worship and local hobby groups.

If it is easier for services to come to you, we have monthly visits from chiropodist. If you would like a different type of therapist or professional to visit, or would like to continue to see one that you already use, we are happy to help arrange your appointments.

Wavertree House employs its own hairdresser who will be happy to give advice and offers a manicure service while you relax and be pampered in the new hairdressing salon and have hair done.

Volunteers visit us frequently, offering residents the chance to have a cup of tea and a chat and receive one-to-one support.

We also regularly welcome choirs, school groups and speakers from the local community, as well as hosting family events throughout the year to coincide with seasonal events such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Christmas.

“When you have sight loss, life is not finished by any means. There are still many things you can do in spite of your loss of sight.”
