Residents are actively encouraged to take advantage of our hair and beauty salon where they can enjoy pedicures, manicures, massages, hair cutting and styling.

We are constantly looking for new ways to engage our residents in meaningful and interesting activities, occasionally these are ones that they might be trying for the first time in their lives. Here we see just how well a group of residents from Finney House aged between 83 and 99 have embraced taking part in a radio play written specially for them.  

A spoof of a radio play classic, ‘The Haharchers’ is a fictitious comedy snap-shot of daily life at Finney House. Episode one ‘The New Gardener’ begins with several residents sitting and chatting together while waiting for afternoon tea to be served. They are looking out of the window watching the comings and goings on the car park. One of them spots the arrival of a new van that they’ve not seen before, before we know it there is an unexpected turn of events……………. 

Disclaimer: No cars, gardeners or home manager’s husbands were injured in the making of this play and we can assure you that the length of the grass here is never a disgrace!
