A Vibrant Care Home in Leeds | Grove Park

Our Sun Terrace Catches the Sun

We are very proud of our beautiful terrace and the busy team of resident gardeners who keep it looking wonderful all year round. Special care is taken over the topiary animals which, along with the shrubs and flowers, raised beds, bird feeders, chimes and herb planters are focal points of home life. Grandstand views of rugby are thrown in! But that’s by no means all. Our team of Activity Coordinators make sure there is something for everyone to be involved with, even if their fingers are not particularly green. For instance:

• Creative writing classes
• Wildlife webcams to watch
• Visits from PAT (Pets as Therapy) dogs
• Knitting Nanas that Natter
• Arts and crafts sessions
• Going out for walks

We believe it benefits everyone’s well-being to be active and mentally stimulated, so there is something going on every day, with a choice of activities on each floor. We make use of reminiscence and sensory-based activities for residents in our Memory Care Suite; visits from local schools, musical entertainers and speakers who talk on a wide range of subjects keep everyone happy. We do our best to support any particular interests residents have, and we make best use of our minibus which gets us out and about to local places of interest. It’s a great way to make new friends.

Parrots From Pineapples

This is just one of the things our creative head chef can do. Check out the Facebook pages, if you want corroboration! And the artistic coffee creations of our barista are to be seen to be believed. These are a couple of examples of the imagination and care that is put into the fine food that is served daily – a match for any high quality restaurant. The produce is always fresh, bought locally from producers across Yorkshire, chimes with the seasons and we like to consult our residents as to their likes and dislikes and particular favourites. Complaints are few on the ground!

Meal times are much anticipated and happy, sociable occasions. An aperitif on the sun terrace beforehand and a glass of wine with the meal make it a bit more special. A delicious array of cakes and pastries are paraded throughout the day, so there is no excuse for not enjoying a morning coffee or afternoon tea. Private dining is available should residents wish to celebrate a special occasion with loved ones, and residents are free to take meals in the peace of their own room should they choose. Guests are welcome at any time. Check to see if parrots are on the menu first!
