Activities at Wykeham House Care Home

Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Activities Lead

I joined Wykeham House in October 2022 but I have worked doing activities in care homes since I left College, I began volunteering in a local home when I was 15 years old and then took on my first job in a care home when I was 18. I have enjoyed extending my knowledge to improve my work and have a Level 2 in Dementia Awareness, Domestic Abuse Awareness and Mental Health Awareness. I have also attended courses on End-Of-Life Activities as well as Dementia focused Activities. I love what I do and for me it is important that every day is a new day for our residents with new opportunities and a smiling face to come with it.

Summer Fete

In celebration of the Queen's birthday, Wykeham House held a summer fete. As you can see by the pictures, it was a lot of fun.

Animal Farm at Wykeham

On 15th April, we had a farm come to visit Wykeham to help boost the spirits of residents. The animals arrived at 10:00am and stayed for two hours. Residents were able to stroke, hold and enjoy the lovely little things.

Celebrating the Queen's Birthday at Wykeham

For the Queen's 90th birthday, the residents baked a cake. We then had a tea party in Her Majesty's honour. We were very lucky with the weather as well, because it was a lovely day outside.

Fish, Chips & Quiz Night!

Our Fish, Chips and Quiz Night was on the 15th April. Each unit had a table and it was a mixture of residents and staff members. We started with some amazing fish and chips in old fashioned newspaper cones to start the night. We then started our 4 rounds of questions in our quiz. The residents had a lot of fun trying to answer questions and complete word challenges.
