Minibus

At Vane Hill Care Home, our minibus service helps residents stay connected with the world beyond our home and enjoy the many attractions that Devon has to offer. As part of our therapeutic activities programme, regular outings are organised throughout the year, giving residents opportunities to explore local places, enjoy a change of scenery and spend social time together. Trips might include visits to Torquay’s seafront, relaxing afternoons around Torquay Harbour, or time spent enjoying the coastal views of our beautiful area. These outings provide enjoyable experiences while helping residents remain connected to their local community.

Exploring Torquay with Vane Hill Care Home

For people living with alcohol related brain damage, spending time outside familiar surroundings can offer valuable stimulation, variety and opportunities for meaningful engagement. Outings are carefully planned around residents’ interests, abilities and support needs, ensuring everyone can participate in a way that feels comfortable and enjoyable.

Whether it is a gentle walk in the stunning Devon countryside, a visit to a local café or an afternoon exploring nearby coastal towns, these experiences can help build confidence, encourage social interaction and create positive memories. The focus is always on supporting independence, wellbeing and quality of life through shared experiences.
