Dementia Active

Sky Blues in the Community launched DementiaActive in Coventry back in September 2021 and it has proved to be a great success.

The session consists of a variety of activities for participants of all abilities. These include badminton, table tennis, soft archery, indoor bowls, basketball, and football. Plus, there are games that are less physically demanding like giant Jenga, cards and other board games.

Participants are given the opportunity to chose which ever activity they like and there is no pressure on them to do any specific activity. There is also plenty of space for everyone attending to have a seat and chat with others.

Participants are welcome to attend with carers/family members or friends and we encourage them to join in also, which helps create a positive atmosphere at sessions.

When is it? 

The new sessions will be taking place in Nuneaton and Warwick, with details of both below.

  • DementiaActive Nuneaton - Jubilee Sports Centre (CV10 7EZ) - Monday afternoons 2.30 - 4.30 pm
  • DementiaActive Warwick - St Nicholas Park Leisure Centre (CV34 4QY) - Friday mornings 10.00 - 11.30 am

Enter and view visits to care homes in 2024

Read our latest enter and view reports on care homes we have visited in 2024.

Alongside these visits we do lots of work 'behind the scenes', which includes researching, planning, and working in partnership with the Care Quality Commission and Warwickshire County Council to make sure we use your feedback to improve care. Not all feedback will end with a visit but all feedback is used to make a difference.
