“I feel so much happier living here”<br />
At Care UK’s Priors House care home in <strong>Leamington</strong> Spa, the secret’s out.<br />
There’s so much to get involved in each day that new people are moving in<br />
regularly to make new friends <strong>and</strong> enjoy their share of fun.<br />
New friends, fantastic<br />
lifestyle<br />
“It’s the friendship,” Danny,<br />
a Priors House resident,<br />
says. “The more you take<br />
part in the activities, the<br />
more you make friends.”<br />
The jam-packed weekly<br />
lifestyle programme includes<br />
shopping trips, lots of live<br />
music, outings to theatres<br />
<strong>and</strong> museums, exercise<br />
sessions, baking, gardening<br />
<strong>and</strong> quizzes. And dance<br />
classes – run by Danny.<br />
“I am keen ballroom dancer<br />
<strong>and</strong> so I asked if I could take<br />
dance classes. These are<br />
really popular. “I feel so much<br />
happier here living here <strong>and</strong><br />
much better in myself”, he<br />
adds.<br />
Say goodbye to loneliness<br />
“When older people live in<br />
their own homes, loneliness<br />
can be a big problem,” says<br />
Fran Summers, the home’s<br />
manager. “Here at Priors<br />
House, we tailor activities<br />
to residents’ interests <strong>and</strong><br />
hobbies, so they can continue<br />
doing the things they love<br />
with likeminded people. When<br />
that happens, friendships<br />
form easily.”<br />
Sharing meal times<br />
“I think it is so important to<br />
have people to share meal<br />
times with” says Doris.” Since<br />
I moved here I have company<br />
at every meal <strong>and</strong> have good<br />
company every day.””<br />
