Games & Recreation

At our Lytham St Annes care home, games and recreation are an important part of daily life as they encourage residents to stay active and make new friends. We see leisure time as a chance to maintain interests, discover new hobbies and feel part of a friendly community. Our team gets to know what each resident enjoys, then plans activities that suit different personalities and abilities. Whether someone prefers a quiet board game, a lively quiz or simply watching others take part, we make sure they feel included and welcome.

Everyday Activities For All Interests

We offer a wide variety of games and recreational activities so residents can choose what appeals to them. Traditional board and card games, gentle quizzes and puzzle sessions are popular, especially with those who like to keep their minds active. These activities also create natural opportunities for conversation and shared laughter, which can be especially valuable for new residents settling into life at our care home in Lytham St Annes.

Our team understands that not everyone wants to take part in group activities all the time. For residents who prefer a quieter pace, we can provide one-to-one games or hobby-based activities in the lounge or in their bedroom. We pay close attention to what each person can manage comfortably and adapt games to suit this.

Games and recreation at Windmill Lodge play an important role in supporting physical and emotional well-being. Gentle movement activities, such as seated games or simple ball games, can help residents maintain coordination and cognitive function in a safe way. For residents living with dementia, structured games with familiar objects can provide reassurance and a sense of routine.

We also use games as a way to bring people together and build friendships. Group sessions encourage residents to share memories and cheer each other on, which helps them to build connections with like-minded individuals. Our activity team regularly asks for feedback and introduces new ideas so that there is always something to look forward to. Seasonal events and themed game days add extra variety to the weekly calendar and help residents feel connected to what is happening in the wider community.
