Upcoming Activities
Live life to the full. It is an important part of the SAGE philosophy that our residents live their lives to the full and feel that they are still very much part of the community. To help us achieve this we have an Activities Co-ordinator who is responsible for arranging a continuous and varied programme of stimulating activities both within the Home and outside. Wherever possible we like to involve relatives, friends and members of the local community. We are also indebted to our wonderful band of volunteers and extremely grateful for their untiring support.
