Daily Life at Olea Care Group
What does a typical day look like?
Each day is structured to offer comfort, choice, and meaningful activity. Mornings begin gently, with support available for personal care, breakfast, and medication if needed. Residents can choose how they spend their day—whether joining group activities, enjoying quiet time, or simply relaxing in familiar surroundings.
Meals are served at regular times, with flexibility for personal preferences. Evenings are calm and unhurried, with staff on hand to support bedtime routines and ensure everyone feels safe and settled.
Can I choose my own routine?
Absolutely. We believe in supporting independence and personal choice. Residents are encouraged to wake, eat, and participate in activities at times that suit them. Whether you’re an early riser or a night owl, we will adapt to your rhythm—not the other way around.
What kind of support is available day to day?
Our team provides tailored support with personal care, mobility, medication, and emotional wellbeing. We also offer help with appointments, communication, and staying connected to family and friends. Support is discreet, respectful, and always based on individual needs.
Are there activities and social opportunities?
Yes—our homes offer a varied programme of activities, from arts and crafts to music, gardening, gentle exercise, and seasonal events. Participation is always optional, and we make sure there’s something for everyone, including quiet spaces and one-to-one time.
What happens if my needs change?
We regularly review care plans to ensure they reflect your current needs and preferences. If additional support is required—whether short-term or ongoing — we will work with you and your family to adjust care safely and sensitively.
How do meals work?
Meals are freshly prepared on-site, with menus tailored to dietary needs and preferences. Residents can choose where they eat—whether in the dining room, their own room, or with friends. We also accommodate cultural and medical dietary requirements.
Is there support for emotional wellbeing?
Yes — emotional wellbeing is central to our care. We offer companionship, conversation, and opportunities for meaningful engagement. Our team is trained to recognise and respond to emotional needs, and we work closely with families to ensure residents feel connected and supported.
