The Hydrotherapy pool

Aquamira hydro poolAt Aquamira, we work alongside physiotherapists who will recommend either a hydrotherapy programme or a leisure swim programme - both have great therapeutic effects in maintaining mobility, movement and wellbeing.

 

 

The Green Spaces Project (started in 2021)

Aquamira gardenWe value our outdoor environment and have created new spaces for ongoing garden and maintenance projects such as growing vegetables, the compost project, planting flowers, encouraging wildlife, fence painting etc. It’s also a great place to relax and socialise with our friends.

Makachat/Makaton activities

Makaton/Makachat is designed to help hearing people with learning and communication difficulties. It's an aid to communication alongside speech accompanied by the use of signs and symbols to help individuals in learning and/or communication difficulties. Using Makaton at Aquamira we can interact with others, allowing them to be included in everyday life, to take part in activities, access information and fulfil their potential.

Multi-sensory room

Multi-sensory room

Our multi-sensory room has recently undergone refurbishment and offers users a variety of sensory experiences, from the changing colours of the star ceiling/disco ball whilst listening to your choice of music to the soothing motion of the waterbed whilst relaxing to the sound of the waves. In this room we also have the projector screen where you can watch big-screen movies, or interact with the interactive magic mirror.

 

Reminiscence

Our group is suitable for all ages and abilities. It aims to promote wellbeing and connection though meaningful and enjoyable activities. It offers a chance for regular contact and an opportunity to engage with others through communication, listening, fun and the sharing of our lives.
