Outdoor Areas

Our Porterbrook residents have access to a variety of outdoor spaces, including the courtyard garden and terrace, where they can stretch their legs, enjoy the sunshine and take in the peaceful views. All areas are flat, secure and easy to navigate, with parasols available to provide shade and comfort on brighter days. The gardens and balconies are also wonderfully private and not overlooked by anything, offering residents a safe haven to relax and unwind throughout the year.

Whether residents wish to spend time alone reading a book, pottering with plants or simply enjoying a cup of tea with a loved one, our Sheffield care home has plenty of ideal spots for those who enjoy being outdoors. Residents also play a big part in shaping how the garden looks. From choosing favourite flowers and colours for planting, to selecting the resin colour used during the recent refurbishment. For those living with dementia, flowers are often planted in their favourite colours, helping the sensory spaces feel more personal and engaging.

Outside Activities

We try to bring as many opportunities outside as possible whenever the weather allows, so residents can make the most of the fresh air throughout the year. From arts and crafts sessions in the sunshine, to regular social afternoons and games in the courtyard, there is always something happening outdoors when it’s warm and bright. Residents are also encouraged to take part in gardening activities by choosing plants and herbs for the garden, which not only adds to the beauty of the space but also provides well-being benefits. With plenty of seating and rest areas scattered throughout the gardens, residents can join in for as long as they feel comfortable, or simply take a moment to relax.

Catch Up With Loved Ones

It’s always a pleasure to get outside with family and friends, even just for a little while. We have outdoor seating areas in both the front and back of the home, offering pleasant places to enjoy a chat with loved ones when the weather is warm. Our secure patio and spacious, private balconies are particular favourites, with tables and chairs so residents can share a cup of tea (and a few biscuits) while taking in the serene views. With privacy and comfort at the heart of their design, our outdoor spaces provide the perfect backdrop for both quiet reflection and togetherness with loved ones at our care home in Yorkshire.

Outdoor Areas FAQs

Encouraging our residents to utilise our outdoor space while enjoying assisted living in Sheffield supports their engagement with the natural environment, facilitating outdoor activities and a sense of well-being. This contributes to multiple mental and physical benefits, including reduced stress and anxiety levels, heightened mood, improved cognitive abilities, better heart health, and increased physical stability and strength.

Our residents have the opportunity to engage in several outdoor activities within our outdoor spaces, including walking, gardening, exercise sessions, and, when weather permits, dining with loved ones, participating in outdoor arts and crafts, and enjoying live entertainment.

We have taken steps to guarantee that every resident can enjoy our outdoor areas by establishing wheelchair-accessible paths, providing seating for individuals with mobility challenges, implementing secure fencing and gates, maintaining pathways, installing suitable lighting, and incorporating other safety measures to prevent any accidents and ensure the well-being of all residents at our South Yorkshire Care Home.
