Life at Gorton Parks Care Home

Exercise on a regular basis and a varied activity programme are beneficial for many reasons, which is why we place so much importance on them at Gorton Parks.

Our Activities

 We know that activities have been proven to improve appetites and sleep patterns, so we encourage all our residents to take part in the range on offer. Our activity co-ordinator chats with all residents to make sure we find something fun and interesting for them to do. We can also help them continue any existing hobbies in the home.
