Minibus

Getting out and about can be an enjoyable part of everyday life. At Daisy Nook House Care Home in Ashton-under-Lyne, our minibus gives residents the opportunity to enjoy outings beyond the home, explore the local area and experience a change of scenery.

We understand that being able to visit familiar places, enjoy different surroundings and spend time outside the home can be important to residents. Our minibus helps make these experiences possible, providing opportunities to enjoy trips and activities suited to residents’ interests and abilities.
Whether it’s a visit to a local attraction, a trip into the surrounding area or simply enjoying some time away from the home, outings can add variety to everyday life.

Getting Out and About

Our minibus provides residents with opportunities to enjoy trips outside Daisy Nook House. Having access to transport makes it easier to organise outings and gives residents the chance to experience places beyond their usual surroundings.

For some residents, this might mean revisiting somewhere familiar or enjoying a trip they have not been able to make for some time. For others, it may be an opportunity to discover somewhere new.
We recognise that everyone has different interests and preferences, so we aim to make outings enjoyable and appropriate for the people taking part.

Enjoying Time Together

Outings can also provide opportunities for residents to spend time together and share new experiences.

Whether enjoying a trip with friends from the home or spending time with members of the team, getting out and about can offer a change to the usual daily routine. These shared experiences can encourage conversation, help build friendships and create opportunities to make new memories.

We also recognise that some residents may need additional support when going out. Our team takes individual needs into account when planning outings and helping residents make the most of the experience.
