Excursions are one of our most popular activities. We venture out to new places all the time. Locally, the beautiful village of Cramond provides lots of places to explore. We also regularly take residents into Edinburgh to visit the museums, theatres and art galleries and to take in shows, talks and other events. Other trips take us further afield, for example across the Firth of Forth to explore the Kingdom of Fife.
Staying active helps keep you well
Many of our activities help boost health and wellbeing. Art activities keep the creative juices flowing, while quizzes keep the mind active. We also host visits for Toffee, Cramond Residence’s Therapet, who is a chocolate brown Labradoodle. Toffee and his owner Miriam visit every week. He is always up for lots of cuddles and plays an important part in many of the therapies and activities that we offer.
Staying in touch and playing a part
So that residents can have a say in the activities that take place at the Residence, they are all invited to take part in our residents’ meeting. This is entirely optional but is a great opportunity to suggest new things to do.
We also encourage residents to maintain links with the local community. This may be through using local services such as shops and local church services. Providing their health allows it, we will do everything we can to help residents go out on their own or with company. We offer a private transport service for local appointments and help organise public transport and taxis, as well as having our own mini bus.
