The Joy and Benefits of Resident Outings

At Four Seasons Health Care Group, we believe that life should be vibrant and full of new experiences. For our residents, maintaining a sense of adventure and connection with the world around them is key to their well-being. That’s why we prioritise organising regular trips and excursions, ensuring that our residents continue to enjoy all that life has to offer.

Whether visiting a park, strolling through a museum, or enjoying the seaside, these outings spark cherished memories and bring simple joys that enrich our residents’ lives. These excursions also keep our residents active, promoting physical health in enjoyable ways.

We understand that maintaining independence is vital, and our outings empower residents to make choices about how they spend their time. Most importantly, these experiences create lasting memories, bringing smiles and stories that we cherish long after the trip is over.  Many of our homes have access to a fully-accessible mini-bus to help make slightly further afield trips out possible. You can see some examples of our recent trips out and about below.

Four Seasons Health Care Group have also partnered with Myley to offer bespoke tour experiences that are slightly further afield in some of our care homes.  These tours offer our homes the option to plan a longer excursion that appeals to residents.  From assessing each destination, ensuring it is suitable for our residents, to providing transportation in their fully accessible minibuses, Myley tours are a fantastic opportunity for residents to explore new places and experiences.

Every trip has a dedicated Tour Leader, who is committed to providing engaging tours and meaningful social interactions. Several brighterkind care homes have access to Myley tours and popular trips include Cotswold Wildlife Park, Brighton Promenade, and The National Railway Museum.
