Activities are shaped around residents’ interests, hobbies and the things they enjoy most. From gardening and exercise to animal visits, community events, celebrations and days out, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. Whether joining a group activity or enjoying something more individual, the focus is on friendship, wellbeing and making each day meaningful.
There are plenty of ways to spend the day at Richard House, from quizzes and creative activities to gardening, exercise and relaxation. Residents can enjoy our Gardening Club or take part in Be Great Fitness sessions, with activities offering opportunities to stay active, socialise and enjoy favourite interests.
Animal visits are always eagerly anticipated at Richard House.

The first Family Day also brought residents, relatives and friends together for music and entertainment in the sunshine.

It’s all part of keeping life varied, social and enjoyable.
