The day begins early at Coppice Care, with our residents waking up to a gentle and supportive morning routine. Our staff are on hand to provide assistance with personal care, medication, and breakfast, ensuring that everyone starts the day feeling refreshed and prepared. For many of our residents, this routine is tailored to their individual needs and preferences, allowing them to begin the day in a way that works best for them.
Activity Time
Following breakfast, our residents embark on a range of activities designed to promote socialization, skill-building, and fun. These might include arts and crafts, cooking, or outdoor pursuits, such as gardening or walking. Our staff work closely with each resident to identify their interests and abilities, creating personalized activity plans that cater to their unique needs and goals. For example, one resident might enjoy participating in music therapy sessions, while another might prefer to focus on developing their independent living skills.
