Activities at Frampton House
Activities are an important part life in the home as it contributes in creating a
caringand supportive environment that enhances residents' overall well-being and happiness.
We believe meaningful activity is essential as it promotes mental and emotional well-being, social interaction, physical health, a sense of purpose and autonomy, cognitive stimulation, and an improved quality of life for residents.

The Resident’s Amenities Fund
As a means to enhance social activities the Activities Co-ordinator organises fundraising events periodically. The monies raised are managed via a specific bank account which is subject to yearly audit. Examples of fund-raising events are Summer and Christmas Fairs. The fund supports outside entertainment, Christmas needs, and luxury items not provided within the home’s general budget. Fund raising events are supported and attended by residents, relatives, friends and the staff of the home.
