A Personalised Approach to Activities
No two people are the same, which is why we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all activity plan. Every resident at Highgate Lodge is supported in pursuing hobbies, interests, and social interactions that feel familiar and joyful to them.
Tailored Engagement for Mind and Body
Our staff take the time to understand each resident’s history, preferences, and health needs. For those living with dementia, we provide gentle, sensory-based activities known to improve memory recall and emotional connection. For others, the day might include a garden stroll, painting, or simply enjoying a favourite sport on TV.
