Activities & Outings

Enjoying yourself at Castleross

Our activities coordinators and our care staff form our activities committee who meet each month plan our activities program to ensure that the day-to-day life at Castleross is all about the people who live here . There are many activities to join in with, ranging from playing cards, music, arts and crafts, armchair aerobics, bus trips and lots more. We also hold regular parties for special occasions where we encourage all of our residents, family and friends to get involved.

Our activity programme ensures there is an interesting and ever-changing choice of things to do. We try to take people's own interests and hobbies into consideration so all information provided about background, likes and dislikes will help us to ensure there is something for everyone.
