Sue McHoy
My role as activity coordinator at Red Oaks is ensuring that all residents have a full and varied activity program. Using our getting to know me books and knowing our residents backgrounds develop our activity program. Having lived in Henfield for the past 10 years I enjoy assisting residents maintaining and forming new the community connections.
I am passionate about my role, the part is having fun and making people smile.

Life at Red Oaks Care Home
Preparing for Royal Ascot
Here at Red Oaks we have had a very busy time celebrating the Royal Jubilee and the Hefield Festival of Garden and Arts. Its been really great and well received by residents and staff alike.
However, some of our residents still found time to make some beautiful Fascinator's to wear at the forthcoming Royal Ascot event, which will be gracing our screens between Tuesday 14th June and Saturday 18th June.
Royal Ascot is a fantastic excuse to dress up and enjoy some bubbles.
Henfield Festival of Garden and Arts
Shortly after our fantastic Jubilee celebrations here at Red Oaks Care Home, we swapped our Jubilee bunting for this eye catching display of colour, all painstakingly knitted by one of our lovely residents.
We were so proud to host part of 'The Henfield Festival of Garden & Arts' within our grounds.
The weekend was fun packed with an assortment of entertainment from Musicians and Dancers.
There were many stalls from small business'es within our local community.
The hospitality was incredible and was overseen by our own fabulous head chef Leigh Clifford who managed along with his team the BBQ and beverages served on both days.
What a fabulous community event
Jubilee Celebrations
Smiles and laughter at the our fabulous Jubilee Celebration
A wonderful day was had by residents, staff , families, friends and our fantastic community at the Jubilee celebration, with the sun shining, cream teas eaten and family and friends spending a glorious day together.
A big thank you to the Aspiration School of Dance for the wonderful show, Henfield Football Club for the fun and games and the Henfield Brownies for helping to serve the teas.
All enjoyed taking pictures in the 'Queens Carriage' made by the Henfield Shed.
The best way to start the day
What a lovey welcome I received on arrival at Red Oaks Care Home this morning.
This is Tony Crowly , one of our wonderful residents. Tony is registered blind.
Tony however serenades the residents and staff each morning over breakfast, playing beautiful music on our piano.
Thank you Tony, what a way to start the day.
International Nurses Day Celebrations
Here at Red Oaks we are blessed with some truly amazing Nurses and we were thrilled to celebrate them on International Nurses Day .
Our wonderful residents and other team members showed their appreciation by holding a sing along accompanied by one of our very talented residents on the piano.
Our Nurses and resident ex nurses also received a thank you note from our Chief Executive and Director of Nursing along with some sweet treats.
Our Chick's
Residents and staff here at Red Oaks care home thoroughly enjoyed hatching chicks and watching them grow. It was an amazing experience. However they just grew so very quickly.
So, it gives us great pleasure to announce that “Our Chicks” now have a new home with Dr Lamb and her family .
