At Oakhaven we believe in bringing fun and laughter into the home every day.
Making friends, finding new interests or just getting out and about, there is always something for you to do.
The little things that make life good
Together we plan activities and outings to suit everyone, and as variety is the spice of life we love to do lots of different things to make the most of every day. You will find a list of upcoming events on the notice board and in our newsletter.
Music & Theatre
Music and singing are a big part of life at Oakhaven.
We bring the theatre here with shows full of favourite songs and dances, from Broadway and big band classics to the popular music of yesteryear. It’s good old-fashioned entertainment to put a smile on your face!
Light Exercise & Movement
We offer weekly classes designed to bring health, fitness and fun to all.
From armchair aerobics to ball games and croquet taking regular exercise is well known to lift the spirits and improve overall wellbeing.
Board Games and Quizzes
If you enjoy word games and quizzes there is plenty of opportunity to pit your wits against like-minded friends. We also have a wide selection of board games to choose from.
Reminiscence & Memory
Time spent just talking and sharing memories can be very positive and meaningful. A heart-warming stroll down memory lane can be a therapeutic exercise as well as a lovely way to pass an hour or so. .
Reminiscence activities, such as looking at photographs or talking about music, are known to give warm feelings of value, worth and belonging, so at Oakhaven you will find a friend to listen and talk about your life’s story.
Arts & Crafts
At Oakhaven we make sure there is always plenty of time for hobbies. You could take up something new like jewellery or card making or rediscover an old talent such as painting with water colours or flower arranging.
If you want to try something new we will be happy to try and arrange it.
Trips Out
There is plenty of fun to be had from our outings, not just the trip itself but the planning and anticipation beforehand. Ideas are always welcome for new things to try and everyone can join in as much or as little as they like. Seaside trips and days out to the theatre are ever-popular but if you feel like a little stroll to the corner shop we can help with that too.
As we are in the beautiful Cotswolds we often take drives out in the countryside, calling in at villages like Broadway or Stow-on-the-Wold to make the most of the lovely places on our doorstep.
Other Things We Do
Oakhaven takes a holistic approach to well-being, so as well as our everyday activities we provide many other types of support. For example we have our own visiting chiropodist and hairdresser, then there is the Oakhaven shop for toiletries and confectionary, a newspaper and magazine delivery service, pet therapy, onsite laundry, or we can even arrange to have your dry cleaning collected and delivered.
We will arrange transport to hospital appointments if you wish, and for spiritual comfort we have appropriate religious services and pastoral visits.
