Creative Room

The Park View Creative Room

Inspiring Expression, Connection & Joy Through Creativity

At Park View Care Home, we know that creativity is far more than a pastime — it is a powerful therapeutic tool that supports wellbeing, dignity, and identity. That’s why we have created a dedicated Creative Room — a space designed from the ground up to inspire residents to express themselves, explore their passions, and rediscover the joy of making and doing. This purpose-built environment is one of the only spaces of its kind in dementia and elderly care locally — and it is a cornerstone of our activities-based care model.

Designed to Inspire, Empower & Engage

• Arts & crafts materials — paints, papers, textiles, and more
• Individual art easels — for personal creative space
• Tool station — safe, familiar tools for practical crafts
• Sewing machine & materials — textile creativity and fine motor skills
• Hands-on projects — seasonal crafts, life story books, memory boxes

Importantly, everything is fully accessible, and activities are tailored to the interests and abilities of each individual.

Why Creativity Matters in Dementia & Elderly Care

• Stimulate memory and cognitive function
• Encourage self-expression when verbal communication may be difficult
• Support fine motor skills and dexterity
• Boost mood and emotional wellbeing
• Promote social interaction and shared experience
• Foster a sense of achievement, identity and purpose

Having a dedicated space for creativity — away from daily care routines — empowers residents to fully engage in these benefits in a calm, supportive environment.

Personalised & Meaningful Engagement

Our team works closely with residents to develop creative sessions that reflect their personal interests and backgrounds. For some, this may mean returning to a lifelong hobby — painting, woodworking, sewing — while for others it may mean trying something entirely new in a safe, encouraging space. The Creative Room also supports one-to-one therapeutic work, allowing us to use creative expression to help reduce anxiety, promote calm, and provide meaningful engagement for those with more advanced dementia.

Family Involvement & Celebrating Creativity

Families are encouraged to visit the Creative Room, join in sessions, and celebrate their loved one’s work. Many families tell us that seeing the joy and pride their loved one gains from creative activity is one of the most rewarding aspects of their care experience at Park View. Resident artwork and creations are regularly displayed throughout the home — helping to foster a sense of community and achievement.

A Key Part of Our Activities-Based Care

The Creative Room is an integral part of Park View’s activities-based, open-plan care approach — which is designed to help every resident live life with dignity, purpose, and joy.
