Activities
At Millard House, we provide our residents with ongoing opportunities for stimulation.
Our well-planned award-winning entertainment and activities programme is designed with this in mind.
At Millard House, we believe life should be filled with joy, purpose, and connection. That’s why we involve our Residents in shaping our daily activities, ensuring that every day is engaging, fulfilling, and tailored to their interests.
Our Activities Calendar offers two exciting options every day, seven days a week, keeping our community dynamic and engaging. Whether it’s a morning of creative expression or an afternoon of lively entertainment, there’s something for everyone!
Activities are fun
Varied & exciting, providing fulfilment and happiness. Staying active is key to a happy, healthy life. We inspire movement through energizing gym sessions, uplifting music activities, and even dancing!
Reminiscing & Sensory Room
Our Reminiscing and sensory room has been designed specifically to encourage positivity, and reduce anxiety. Our residents are encouraged to reminisce and explore old memories. This we find not only helps to build their self confidence, but also keeps them engaged and exercises their communication.
Our special Sensory Machine – designed to contain different lighting effects, touchable surfaces
and music.
Outside Community
At Millard House we recognise the importance of maintaining links with the outside community. To achieve this, the activities coordinator organises activities such as themed event days, fairs and fetes, outings to various places of interest, sherry mornings, tea dances, external singers, gospel church singing and church communion.
Our links with the Braintree community and attempts to bring the ‘community into home’ are successfully growing. Residents are able to enjoy the company of other members of the community on a daily basis.
Celebrations
At Millard House, we understand that special occasions bring families closer together. That’s why we encourage our Residents to celebrate milestones, holidays, and personal achievements with their loved ones.
From the warmth of Christmas gatherings to the joy of Easter celebrations, we create a festive atmosphere where families and friends can come together, share laughter, and make lasting memories. These celebrations provide a sense of reassurance and belonging, making Millard House truly feel like a home away from home.
We also love to make birthdays extra special! Families are welcome to organize birthday parties, and we are more than happy to facilitate the event—whether it’s arranging decorations, preparing a delicious cake, or creating a joyful setting where everyone can celebrate together.
Independence and Everyday Joy
At Millard House, we celebrate independence by encouraging Residents to continue everyday tasks that bring a sense of accomplishment. From cooking and gardening to sewing, knitting, and even biscuit decorating, our activities foster creativity and confidence.
We also organize exciting shopping trips and outings to keep life full of adventure!
Movement and Fun Go Hand in Hand
Staying active is key to a happy, healthy life. We inspire movement through energizing gym sessions, uplifting music activities, and even dancing!
Whether it’s a gentle stretch or a lively waltz, we encourage everyone to participate in ways that feel good for them.
