Engagement Activities

Through research, we redefine ageing with joy, dignity and purpose.

Every day is an opportunity to engage, belong and thrive together.

Our vibrant programme of engagement activities is at the heart of life at Nightingale Hammerson. From music and art to gardening, reminiscence, community events, French conversation, flower arranging, indoor bowls and much more. Every activity is designed to spark joy, create connection and celebrate each Resident’s interests and individuality.

Whether sharing stories over coffee, joining a singalong or simply enjoying a quiet moment in nature, we offer meaningful experiences that enrich daily life. Our hard working and dedicated engagement team take time to get to know each person.

They tailor activities to support emotional well-being, social connection and a continued sense of purpose. Whether a Resident lives in a nursing, residential or dementia care household, the team ensures activities are created and suited for all needs and interests.

Our engagement programme provides variety and choice, and everyone can become involved with an activity they enjoy.

Intergenerational Care

The intergenerational programme with the on-site nursery Apples and Honey Nightingale offers both Residents and our nursery attendees activities to enjoy together. The nursery was the first of its kind within a care home and is recognised as an international leader in its field. Residents and children enjoy a huge number of activities and celebrations together, from French club, board games, arts & crafts, gardening, harvesting our honey to reading with Residents and performing shows and concerts for them. Residents gain an enormous amount of enjoyment and fulfilment from being with our younger community. The importance for young and old to spend sociable and fun times together cannot be overestimated for both generations alike.  Apples and Honey Nightingale has created an education and training centre which welcomes visitors from all over the world to learn about our programme.

185 years of care excellence

Nightingale House is officially rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission, placing our home in the top 3% of UK care homes.

“Retaining our Outstanding CQC rating is testament to our wonderful, kind and compassionate care teams.”
