Residents Embrace Local Community Spirit

At Queens View Harbour Care Home, the spirit of community is not just cherished - it's celebrated. Nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Troon, the home continues to place a strong emphasis on maintaining and nurturing connections with the local area, ensuring residents feel engaged, supported, and very much part of the vibrant community around them.

Residents have been thoroughly enjoying a variety of outings that highlight the importance of staying connected with the local community. Whether it's attending charity events, visiting neighbouring towns, or simply taking in the fresh sea air on a stroll along Troon's beautiful shorefront, these activities have become a treasured part of life at Queens View Harbour.

One highlight has been the residents' visits to the local charity, Give a Dog a Bone. Not only do these outings allow residents to support a meaningful cause, but they also offer a delightful social experience - enjoying coffee and cake, and sharing smiles with the charity's furry friends. The combination of community connection and canine companionship has proven to be a real morale booster.

The home also regularly organises trips further afield to surrounding towns, with favourites including Musical Memories at Alloway Church and All Cycle Abilities in Kilmarnock. These events provide valuable opportunities for residents to explore new interests and reminisce through music and movement.

"We're so lucky to be situated in such a stunning location with a strong sense of community," said a team member at Queens View Harbour. "It's a real joy to see our residents thrive when they're out and about or welcoming the community into our home."

For those residents who find it more difficult to get out, Queens View Harbour bring the community to them. The care home regularly hosts visiting entertainers, exercise instructors, and activity leaders - ensuring that every resident can engage with the local culture and continue enjoying enriching experiences without having to leave the comfort of home.

That overarching goal is to encourage residents to remain connected, active, and curious - supporting their health, wellbeing, and happiness through community involvement and meaningful experiences. Whether it's through charity support, attending local events, or simply trying something new, every opportunity is taken to help residents make lasting memories.

At Queens View Harbour, community isn't just something outside the door - it's part of everyday life.
