Arundel Park Residential and Nursing Home in Liverpool

The home’s activities co-ordinator Laura likes to take our residents out into the community in Toxteth to do things they love. With a home minibus and the help of the supportive team, she takes them to places nearby in Sefton Park and further afield. Some of the residents love to see the sharks at Blue Planet Aquarium in Cheshire, while others prefer The Museum of Liverpool for a more tame day out!

Inside the nursing home, there is always so much to do, whether residents prefer to enjoy a hand massage and manicure during the regular pamper sessions or read poetry with members of a reading group that visit us.

Inside these four walls, the activities are equally as meaningful. We organise reminiscence sessions using memory boxes filled with items from yesteryear. They include black and white photographs of Liverpool in the era our residents grew up in, old cameras they would have used for family snaps and things like carbolic soap. We also work closely with our local library, which gives Arundel Park large print and audiobooks especially for our residents who love to read but need a little extra support.

Music is often the best therapy

Some of our residents recently took part in a 15-week course with The Brain Charity in Liverpool. The residents met people from residential and nursing homes in the area for special singing sessions with the charity.

Near Arundel Park is the Palm House in Sefton Park, where some of the residents enjoy jazz afternoons and tea dances. These are a wonderful opportunity for them to meet up with older people from the community. They love to dress up for what is a really special social get-together.
