Life in The Four Ferns
As a purpose built facility, The Four Ferns has an abundance of both indoor and outdoor space for residents to enjoy. The beautifully landscaped courtyard garden and woodland pathways provide a tranquil outdoor retreat where residents can experience the physical and psychological benefits of being outdoors, sitting and chatting in the sunshine, watching nature, reading, walking and many other outdoor activities.
Indoor activities take place in the communal rooms and breakout spaces throughout The Four Ferns. Different activities require different group sizes. Often, smaller groups of like-minded residents with similar interests are created to optimise participation and enjoyment.
Some examples of weekly activities include live music, chair yoga to music and group physical movement with Siel Bleu. We also offer music therapy, holistic therapy, and art workshops. Bingo, quizzes, and ‘reminiscence’ activities are also incorporated into the weekly social programme and we also host organised events throughout the year.
