Enliven day programmes

Enliven’s day programmes have been designed to brighten your day, and even change your life.

Enliven’s day programmes are structured activity programmes, designed by trained diversional therapists and run by our recreation staff and volunteers. The programmes provide older people living in their own home or with family an opportunity to get out of the house, take part in a range of activities, stay active and socialise with others at a similar stage of life.

Each programme is run from one of our rest homes or community cottages, which means the environment is safe, friendly, relaxed and well set up for those with mobility or medical needs.

Activities are tailored to the group’s interests and are flexible enough to happen in a way that suits each attendee. Activities include themed events, sight-seeing trips, board games, sewing and craft, gentle exercise classes, music and a wide variety of visiting entertainers.

Enliven day programmes benefit family carers too

Caring for a loved one can be demanding and tiring work, both physically and emotionally.

An Enliven day programme gives family carers a chance to take a break, catch up on everyday activities and chores and focus on your own wellbeing. Best of all, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your loved one is safe and enjoying all that Enliven’s homes have to offer.

Where are Enliven’s day programmes?

Enliven Central’s day programmes are based at Enliven’s homes and cottages across the lower North Island. For more information about the home you or your loved one will visit as a day guest, check out the home’s webpage:
