Activities at Winchester House Care Home
Our activities team are constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we support by organising group and individual activities for anyone and everyone to participate in. There are regular outings in the minibus to nearby places of interest, including the local priory and garden centres, as well as visits from musicians, a wide range of entertainers. We are lucky enough to have a enthusiastic team of volunteers who regularly visit the home throughout the week, and our yearly pantomime is a real crowd-pleaser and is well-attended by residents, relatives and members of staff. Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained, and that life at Winchester House is fun and active.

Life at Winchester House Care Home
Time for a cuppa, Dementia Charity
We held a cake sale here at Winchester House for the Dementia UK Charity, we invited all our friends and family and our local community to help us raise money for this amazing charity that is so close to our hearts.
Celebrating VE Day
We celebrated VE Day in style here at Winchester House, some of the staff got dressed up included our wonderful manager Liza Burchell. We had a performer in singing music from the 1940-50s. The resident’s then enjoyed an afternoon tea with scones and fresh cream, all in all it was a fantastic day.
David's Birthday
Myself and family members of a resident, wanted to do something special for his birthday as he has been very poorly. So we held a party for him with his family and close friends who he has been living with for the last couple of years. The chef made a lovely cake, we put on a lovely spread and also decorated the dining area for him, needless to say, David the resident was overwhelmed with the amount of love and effort that people had gone to for his birthday and made some special memories.
Easter Celebrations
We have had so much fun here at Winchester House over the Easter holidays, we did Easter crafts, were our residents made masks and eggs to hang on a tree, We also had PJ & Rose and also Not Nat King Cole performers in, to sing for our residents, which they loved. we also did a Easter egg hunt for our friends and families and also the local community. We held a Easter colouring competition for children to win an Easter egg, I’d like to say that this did go down very well.
Nutrition and Hydration Week
Winchester House enjoys getting involved with lots of different activities, but when it comes to food related, we especially make an effort, as our residents love trying all different kinds of foods. So that’s why we treated them to lots of fruit and snacks for Nutrition and Hydration week, we also had smoothies and healthy juices for them to try.
St Patrick's Day
Winchester House, was very honoured to have a visit from a local Irish dancing Academy for St Patricks day. We were overwhelmed with the amount of friends and family that came to support them. Our Residents had the best time watching them dancing. They even took the time to talk to some of our residents after they had performed.
