Something for everyone
Residents choose how much or how little they take part, whether that’s gardening, exercise sessions, creative activities or a day trip out. Some enjoy the structure a regular session brings, others prefer to join in on their own terms or skip it altogether in favour of a quieter afternoon. Both are treated as entirely valid ways to spend the day.
Creative activities
Creative activities designed to inspire and engage, whether you’re rediscovering a lifelong passion, trying something new, or simply enjoying a moment of calm and self-expression.
Music sessions
Enjoy live performances, singalongs and visits from entertainers with plenty of opportunities to join in or simply listen.
Interactive games
From puzzles and card games to themed quizzes, there’s plenty to keep the mind active, with some friendly competition and shared laughs along the way.
Activities and outings

Fresh food, cooked with care
Home-cooked meals are prepared fresh at Malden House each day, with herbs from our own garden making their way into the kitchen when the season allows. Residents with specific dietary requirements, including texture-modified or fortified diets, are catered for using the same fresh ingredients, with care given to flavour and presentation. Staff offer unhurried support at mealtimes for anyone who needs it, and family are always welcome to join.
