Activities at Station Court Care Home
Activities make up the most important part of all our days, and at Station Court we ensure there are a variety of social events that reflect the individual interests and capabilities of people we support. All group and individual activities are designed to not only mentally and physically stimulate the people we care for, but to enhance their life skills and feelings of purpose and self worth. All of our team are committed to supporting a full activities programme within the home.

Spending the afternoon out in the community, reminiscing of pit days and past days down the pub, bonding over hobbies and meeting new friends and 4 legged ones over their favourite alcoholic drinks and bar snacks in our local towns pub - The Miners, decorated in mining heritage and local history in a cosy atmosphere ... CHEERS!
