ACTIVITIES, TRIPS AND SPECIAL OCCASIONS

At Orchar, we offer you a varied and stimulating programme of entertaining activities. Our programme includes reminiscence, massage, arts and crafts, bingo, relaxation, ball games, dominoes, card games and table top gardening. Besides the afternoon group activities plan, the activities coordinator offers a one-to-one session twice a week if you are interested.

We will encourage you to pursue your own interests and hobbies and staff are delighted to assist whenever necessary. A DVD player, 2 large at- screen televisions, high quality sound system and daily newspapers are available to provide you with stimulation and diversion. Family members and the community are always welcome to volunteer with activities and events.

Special events at Orchar are special indeed when celebrated together. Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Halloween and Bon re night are all marked with joyful festivities, whilst garden parties, barbeques and theme days are planned regularly to enhance the cheerful atmosphere.

A church service is held once a month at Orchar and you can be taken to other religious services if you wish. Trips are organised outside the home to museums and tourist spots with arranged transport and if you are able to use it, public transport is easily accessible.

Our residents delight in the surrounding area of Broughty Ferry, with its variety of quaint, picturesque shops and cafes and the stunning views of the Tay Estuary.
