For
people resident at Uplands we aim to provide some structure from day to
day that will instill a sense of purpose, encourage social interaction,
be enjoyable and beneficial. This work is central to the quality of life
for the resedents at Uplands and is given a high priority.
The approach at Uplands is to develop dynamic activities programme that
recognises a range of social, recreational, educational and therapeutic
needs of our residents.
To deliver this programme there are two staff dedicated to organising
and co-ordinating the activities, with additional input from sessional
therapists and tutors from local education.
In disscusions with the resident the allocated Key Nurse will provide a
lead in identifying the therapeutic and developmental needs of individual
clients, setting the direction for which will be the most benificial
activities for each resident to participate in.
Residents will be given day to day support and encouragement to
participate but it is also accepted that residents will make their own
arrangements and choices.

range of activities typically included is as follows:
