Meaningful activities and experiences are at the heart of wellbeing at Avante Care & Support, helping residents and service users stay active, connected and engaged in the things they enjoy.
At Avante Care & Support, we believe a fulfilling life is about much more than care. Meaningful activities and experiences support wellbeing, social connection, and help residents and service users stay active and engaged.
Guided by our vision of creating ‘Communities where everyone has a vibrant and fulfilling life’, our teams provide varied activities shaped around individual interests and preferences, from creative activities and entertainment to exercise, outings and community events.
Staying active, connected and engaged is an important part of life at Avante Care & Support. Across our care homes and Home Care services, we create opportunities shaped around individual interests, abilities and preferences.
From favourite hobbies and group activities to day trips, community outings and social events, we support people to enjoy new experiences, spend time with others and continue doing the things they love.
Day Trips
We offer day trips to explore the local area and exciting attractions in the community. Day trips allow residents and service users to stay connected, see new sights and have unique experiences. Trips can include historic landmarks, beaches and countryside areas.
Entertainment
We provide a daily activities programme where residents enjoy ongoing entertainment and learn new skills, such as gardening, art, music, games or socialising.
Gardening
At our care homes residents can plant or care for the shrubbery and plants in our garden, providing independence and the opportunity to be outside in nature.
Music & Dance
We provide music and dance across our care homes with classes, or visit events that help connect residents or service users with the power that music and dance can bring.
Board Games
Residents can enjoy a wide selection of board games, whether playing independently, with a friend or as part of a group. Our games offer a fun and relaxed way to socialise, stay engaged and enjoy some friendly competition.
Arts & Crafts
At our care homes, residents can channel their creativity with arts and crafts. We offer classes as part of the daily programme, or residents can enjoy arts and crafts independently, such as painting, drawing, sewing or crafting.
Innovation at Avante
We embrace innovation and new technology to enhance the care and support we provide. From acoustic monitoring and interactive dementia technology to digital solutions that help residents stay connected, we continue to explore new ways to improve wellbeing, independence and everyday life.
Bringing generations together creates meaningful connections and memorable experiences. Through relationships with schools, community groups and younger generations, residents can share stories, learn new skills, enjoy activities together and build friendships that benefit everyone involved.
Our approach to care is guided by the Eden Alternative Philosophy, focusing on creating meaningful connections and reducing loneliness, helplessness and boredom. We support residents to enjoy choice, companionship and purpose, helping everyone live a vibrant and fulfilling life.

Residents at Parkview Care Home - Avante Care & Support have been taking a trip down memory lane as part of a special reminiscence activity, sharing stories and experiences from different stages of their lives.
Reminiscence can be a wonderful way to encourage conversation and connection, giving residents the opportunity to talk about the people, places, careers, hobbies and experiences that have played an important part in their lives.
The activity, titled ‘I Used to Be…’, encouraged residents to reflect on their past and share memories with others, offering a lovely insight into the wonderful lives they have lived. These conversations also allow the Parkview team to learn even more about each resident, helping them understand their individual interests, experiences and what matters most to them.
This knowledge can play an important role in providing meaningful, person-centred activities and care that reflects each resident as an individual.
