Our Activities Co-ordinators at Lucton House play a fundamental part in delivering our mission of enhancing the lives of our residents by creating a fun and hugely varied programme of activities for everyone to participate in. A great source of fun and laughter, they really help each resident live their life to the full. At Lucton House, we believe independent activity, hobbies, and daily chores boost self-confidence. By taking the time to understand each resident's capabilities, we can build a personalised activity plan. We aim to create a programme that encourages as much interaction and enjoyment as possible. As you’d expect, most activities are indoors. However, we make the most of our lovely outdoor patio areas and landscaped gardens when the weather permits. When our residents feel adventurous, we also plan nationwide trips to popular landmarks! Come and get a flavour of life in this warm and friendly West Midlands care home.
