Activities

Meadows Park offers a range of activities that appeal to our residents, regardless of interests and abilities. All activities are of course optional, but we do encourage our residents to be involved to increase their social interaction, mental stimulation and, most importantly, their enjoyment. Activities take place in groups, small task groups or one-to-one. Our dedicated Lifestyles Coordinator is an integral member of our team. They ensure monthly meetings are held with our residents to ensure that activities reflect their interests and choices.
