Activities at Challoner House Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Life at Challoner House Care Home
Valentines Trail
Here at Challoner House, to celebrate Valentines Day we went to the local high street and hid 12 roses for the local community to find and return to our care home. If you found and returned the rose to our care home you would recieve a prize! We have had many members of the public arrive at our doors for their reward and we have loved welcoming them into our home. We hope everyone involved enjoyed our Valentines Trail.
New Friendships
Residents and staff at Challoner House Nursing Home in Chandlers Ford had a blast celebrating Make A New Friend Day on February 8th. There were smiles all round as the home welcomed staff and residents from Shawford Springs Care home to join them for their live entertainment morning.
Sunday Morning Games
At Challoner House we like to keep our Sunday mornings relaxed, This Sunday our residents decided to get together and enjoy a relaxing game of Dominos. Dominos are a not only a great way to get together for a social reminiscing session but is also great for some competitive brain training and dexterity.
National Puzzle Day
The residents at Challoner House joined in with national puzzle day, We started the day with some Word puzzles to train our brain then moved on to some group Jigsaw puzzles. It was a lovely relaxing day with some wonderful reminiscing alongside.
National Puzzle Day aims to spread awareness about the benefits of puzzles for the brain, the mind, and social skills, At Challoner House we also feel that Jigsaw puzzles aids with our dexterity.
