Knit & Natter continues to be a firm favourite at Highwood Care Home, offering residents a calm and welcoming space to come together, unwind, and enjoy each other’s company.

A Relaxing Weekly Tradition

In order to create a comfortable and welcoming environment, residents spend time crocheting while chatting and telling stories during each session. Everyone is welcome to participate in their own way, whether they are experienced knitters or just enjoy the social aspect.

The knitting sessions also play an important role in supporting fine motor skills. The gentle, repetitive hand and finger movements help maintain dexterity, coordination, and strength in the hands, which can support everyday tasks and overall mobility for residents.
