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
Our Creative Room is equipped with everything residents need to explore their creativity in a supportive, dementia-friendly environment:
Arts & crafts materials — a wide range of paints, papers, textiles, and more
Individual art easels — allowing residents to create and display their own work
Tool station — specially designed for residents with a background in trades or practical crafts, providing a safe space to reconnect with familiar skills and tools
Sewing machine & materials — enabling textile-based creativity and supporting fine motor skills
Hands-on projects — from seasonal crafts to life story books and memory boxes
Why Creativity Matters in Dementia & Elderly Care
Creative activity is a proven way to support people living with dementia and older adults. It helps to:
- 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
Personalised & Meaningful Engagement
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
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.
