There’s something quite special about our afternoons with Carla. They’re never dull, always lively and guaranteed to get everyone’s spirits lifted and hands moving. This was our second Activities Afternoon with Carla this month, which we are so grateful for.
The theme this time? A brilliant mix of motor skills and reaction games. Who knew a handful of clothes pegs and a bit of string could create such a competitive buzz? We set up a friendly challenge to see who could clip the most pegs onto their line the fastest. You could see the focus on everyone’s faces as the pegs threatened to ping off in every direction.


It’s moments like this that show why our Residential Care at Abbeyfield Hoylake & West Kirby is so much more than just a care home. We’re big believers in adaptable care that suits every individual, whether that’s support with fine motor tasks or simply bringing people together for a bit of fun.
Once we’d got our fingers warmed up, Carla had another trick up her sleeve. Hand Speed – a fast and funny game that tested everyone’s reaction time. With bright sticks and quick moves, we were all on our toes (or seats!) trying to beat each other to the punch. Some were sneakily quick, others missed their chance entirely, but that’s what community-centric living is all about. We enjoying the moment together, no matter the score.


At Abbeyfield Hoylake & West Kirby, we’re proud to offer round the clock care that goes beyond daily needs. Little activities like this help everyone maintain skills, stay engaged and feel part of something bigger. We are proud to offer such a warm, welcoming residential care home here in West Kirby.
So, whether it’s peg competitions, hand speed challenges or just a good old natter, you can always count on our activities afternoons to bring a smile. We can’t wait to see what Carla’s planning for next time – whatever it is, we know it’ll be good for a laugh and brilliant for keeping us all active.

Here’s to more afternoons full of laughter, friendship and the highest quality care – right here at Abbeyfield Hoylake & West Kirby. Get in touch – we’d love to show you what makes us so special.
