Activities at Tandridge Heights Care Home
Our qualified and dedicated activities staff plan and implement all activities within the home. We try our best to arrange activities that reflect our residents 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. We try to keep our residents active and happy.
Our activities include trips to garden centres, pubs, the cinema or the local theatre. We have many fun games like carpet bowls, Play Your Cards Right or armchair exercises. There are many musical events, singalongs, garden parties and tea parties for everyone to enjoy as well!
Kelly Sherwin
I started at Tandridge Heights in 2020. Previous to this, I have been working as a carer sine 2010, which has helped me to understand the needs, wants and the individuality of all of our residents.
My main responsibility is provide a varied and engaging activities schedule every day for our residents; this helps to keep them involved in social and uplifting activities. We love to have parties to celebrate birthdays, national days and special occasions.

Life at Tandridge Heights Care Home
Southern Strummers Ukulele Band
Residents welcomed Southern Strummers Ukulele band and students from Hazelwood school for a fun filled, musical afternoon. The band really got the children and our residents involved with singing, dancing and playing musical instruments. We also enjoyed delicious homemade cakes and lemonade. Music really does bring people of all ages together.
30 Years of Barchester
Residents and staff celebrated Barchester’s 30th anniversary with a big party. We enjoyed live music and singing from Nina Bromham, delicious homemade afternoon tea and a glass of sherry. We all had a lovely afternoon with lots of fun.
Remembrance Service
Residents and staff remembered fallen heroes by observing the 2 minutes silence on Armistice day and Remembrance day. We had a visit from some of the students at Hazelwood school who spoke to our residents about their memories and experiences during the war. Freda was proud to show the students her father’s medals and the students were fascinated.
Zoo Lab
Tandridge Heights welcomed Hannah for Zoo Lab who brought along an array of amazing exotic creatures for our residents to meet. Residents were able to hold the animals and find out some interesting facts about the different species and their habits.
Flower Arranging
Residents at Tandridge Heights enjoyed a lovely afternoon of flower arranging. Residents made gorgeous, colourful bouquets to display in their rooms, we reminisced about picking flowers for our mums on mother day and residents spoke about their beautiful gardens back at home.
McMillan coffee morning
Tandridge Heights held a McMillan coffee morning, we had delicious homemade cakes and refreshments as well as a very talented live singer. Residents and visitors really enjoyed themselves and we raised an amazing £140 for the McMillan charity.
