FACILITIES - Murray Lodge

As well as ensuring our residents’ home life is of a very high standard, we also encourage our residents to enjoy an active social life. At Murray Lodge we have developed strong relationships with various community and volunteer groups who organise free regular excursions and/or spend one-on-one time with residents. We encourage personal independence and social integration, where appropriate. We offer opportunities to the residents for enriching their life. For example, we encourage residents to develop and maintain a healthy social life by involving them where possible in excursions, activities, sports, hobbies and voluntary work. To this end, we take pride in the invaluable assistance given to us by non-government agencies, local church groups and a variety of volunteers. Whilst one agency provides assistance to find work or education places for those residents who are capable and interested, other agencies and volunteers help residents to achieve new goals be it learning a new craft, a sport, going to church or shopping, or just learning the skill of keeping their room tidy! The social contact and support between residents and outside persons is priceless in building personal self esteem and in increasing the enjoyment of life for our residents.
