Activities Programme

At Westerton, one of our many passions is ensuring that our residents get the most out of every day. We encourage our residents to keep doing what makes them happy, whether it’s walking through Westerton’s gardens and grounds, socialising with friends and family, or stretching their legs while visiting the pleasant and historic town centre of Bearsden.

Our Activity Coordinators have a great time creating a range of enjoyable activities for our residents. Despite the fact that we have a minibus to carry our people from one excursion to the next, Westerton is in such a great location that if a family member wants to join in on the fun, there are several local public transport options for our residents and guests to take advantage of.

Every Day is Different

At Westerton Care Home, every day is designed to bring joy, connection, and a sense of purpose to our residents. We offer a wide mix of activities, from gentle chair-based exercises and weekly trips to Burns Fitness Gym to lively bingo sessions, quizzes, and café catch-ups. There’s always something to look forward to, whether it’s a quiet morning activity or a fun afternoon of Maggie’s line dancing – a monthly favourite that always fills the room with laughter.

Our residents are at the heart of everything we plan. Each unit has its own activity planner, and we regularly ask for suggestions so the schedule truly reflects what people enjoy. Soon, we’ll even be launching a gentlemen’s club based on resident feedback – a new space to socialise and share interests.

Find Your New Home Here

One of the best things about life at Westerton is how connected we are to the local community. Nursery and Brownies groups visit regularly, bringing smiles, chatter, and intergenerational moments that mean a lot to our residents. Our therapy dog Luna is a firm favourite, offering plenty of cuddles and companionship on her visits.

Music also plays a big part in our home – residents can play our piano whenever they wish, and we often welcome a visiting pianist to fill the home with beautiful tunes. Church visits are arranged for those who’d like to attend, and families are encouraged to join in with all activities, turning them into shared moments and lasting memories. Whether it’s a lively group quiz, a sing-along by the piano, or a quiet cup of coffee with loved ones, our activities are all about creating meaningful, human connections.
