At Etive House Care Home, our secure and accessible gardens provide a safe and welcoming outdoor space where residents can enjoy fresh air and freedom of movement. Designed with handrails and ramp access, the gardens enable residents of all mobility levels to explore and relax comfortably. With gazebos and covered bench areas, the space is inviting in all weather, encouraging residents to spend time outside whenever they wish.
When the sun shines, our Activity Coordinator plans a variety of activities, including gardening, to be enjoyed in our tranquil garden. Residents can join the gardening club, which helps residents plant herbs in the herb garden, maintain the many plants and flowers across the property, and refill bird feeders.
Our resident-led gardening club is a vibrant part of garden life, where residents take pride in growing potatoes, strawberries, and other plants. These activities promote wellbeing and foster a strong sense of community. In good weather, residents can enjoy dining al fresco, joining drinks parties, BBQs, and other social events that bring everyone together in the fresh air.
Residents and staff at Etive House Care Home look forward to the summer months. We make every effort to take advantage of the dry, warm weather whenever possible, which is why we frequently offer outside BBQs and entertainment, as well as an annual Summer Fete for residents, employees, and family members. The outdoor activities on offer provide excellent social possibilities, allowing loved ones to join in the enjoyment as well.
We make every effort to support less mobile residents by providing suitable chairs and personalised assistance to access the garden easily. The free-flow access encourages independence and wellbeing, allowing residents to connect with nature, soak up sunshine, and enjoy peaceful moments outdoors.
We’ve taken great care in designing our care home to guarantee our residents enjoy comfort, convenience, and the specialised assistance they require, thanks to our comprehensive range of facilities and services.
We are firm believers in the importance of giving our residents the opportunity to get outdoors regularly. Whether it’s taking in the fresh air, engaging in outdoor activities, or simply immersing themselves in the natural world, we consider this essential for their overall well-being. Spending time outside offers numerous mental and physical benefits, including stress and anxiety reduction, mood improvement, enhanced cognitive function, and better cardiovascular health, balance, and muscle strength.
Many of our activities take place outdoors, allowing our residents to fully embrace the benefits of nature. From walks and gardening sessions to fun lawn games and chair exercises, we make the most of our outdoor spaces. On pleasant days, residents have the opportunity to dine in the garden and enjoy live entertainment.
Our gardens are thoughtfully designed to be inclusive for all residents. Wheelchair-accessible paths and comfortable seating are provided. The garden is secure, with fencing and gates to ensure residents’ safety and prevent them from wandering beyond its bounds.
At our care home in Benderloch, Oban, we take great pride in delivering a diverse array of care services. Our core belief is that all our residents should have access to top-quality care while also being able to follow their passions, explore their interests, and form new bonds.
