Activities at Brook House Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Life at Brook House Care Home
St. Patrick's Day Celebrations
At Brook House residents celebrated St Patrick's Day with a traditional Irish meal, drinks and other activities.
The festive day was celebrated with a variety of activities such as an Irish Quiz and the afternoon live music. Residents enjoyed an Irish coffee and cake.
Decorations were made, themed on the Irish Flag colours and activities were in the lounge and we visited all the residents that couldn't take part so no one was left out.
The Residents were very receptive about the festive day and everyone enjoyed it.
Mothers Day
At Brook House, our wonderful Mother's Day women made beautiful bouquets of flowers in baskets, and our Chef prepared a cake and ice cream with fruit especially for them.
In the afternoon, all the residents sat together in a group chatting and enjoying hot drinks with snacks and watching a comedy movie of their choice.
International Women's Day
Here at Brook House, we celebrated International Women's Day. Every women in Brook House receive flowers and chocolates. Our fantastic chef prepared a lovely cake and made sure every woman in our home felt very special.
Valentines at Brook House
As a special treat on the most romantic day on the year, Brook House care home has organised a special Valentine's Day treat for residents, their friends, and their loved ones.
Every year, the day brings up mixed emotions for some of our residents who have sadly lost their partners, so it's nice to still celebrate with people who care about them.
Care staff decorated the lounge and dining room with hearts and balloons and planned a romantic afternoon party complete with love songs and a delicious cake. Our residents say it was lovely, and they are very happy.
Burns' Night Celebrations
Burns Night was celebrated at Brook House today. A tribute to poet and lyricist Robert Burns.
We had a guest singer as well as a visit from Victoria who read some of Burns' poetry and told us about his life in the late 1700s. Following that, we enjoyed some fantastic food, drinks, and, of course cake from our wonderful chef, making for a fantastic fun and informative day.
International Flower Day
At Brook House all the residents celebrated International Flower Day where they created beautiful bouquets of mixed flowers. The task was to create the most beautiful bouquet. Everyone tried hard and all the residents were winners and were rewarded for motivation.
We spent the afternoon in good spirits and with smiles on their faces.
