Cloud 9 Pastimes

People who are housebound due to illness, disability or frail health still want to enjoy their lives. But for many people it is difficult to undertake hobbies and craft at home. Many people find that the days are long and lonely, with families leading busy lives and friends unable to visit due to their own infirmity.

Cloud 9 Care have used their many years' experience in providing Home Care to create the Cloud 9 Pastime service. This enables people to spend time with a carer undertaking a leisure activity, tailored to their own interests.

From football to flower-arranging; from cribbage to cooking, a Cloud 9 Pastime visit can provide an enjoyable, stimulating, relaxing way to spend an afternoon.

A Cloud 9 Pastime visit can be whatever you want it to be. Some ideas are:

Spend an afternoon making mince pies or baking a cake
Challenge a carer to a game of drafts, cribbage or dominoes
Watch a DVD of a great sporting event together
Make a scrapbook of treasured memories
Create a flower arrangement for your own enjoyment, or as a gift
Make personalised greetings cards for special occasions
Create painted acetate gift tags or tree decorations
