In Kerlogue, we have always strived to provide a homely and fully inclusive atmosphere for all our residents. Over recent years, we have put huge efforts into creating a more expansive programme to allow all residents with different interests, to benefit as much as possible from the day-to-day day activities here.
Our robust activities programme is carried out by a great activities team and our in-house music therapist. The team are always ensuring that all residents benefit from the programme.
With the nature of the home, although we do endeavour to provide a scheduled programme, this isn’t always possible. However, we always provide as much of the following and more throughout an average week as possible for everyone to enjoy and always enhance the atmosphere around the home.
