Activities at Challoner House Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their 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.

Life at Challoner House Care Home
Talk Like a Pirate Day
We celebrated International Talk Like a Pirate Day. We themed the whole day around pirates by dressing up and holding pirate activities, including making sand art and decorating wooden treasure chests.
Autumn Wreaths
Our residents enjoyed making autumn wreaths from foraged leaves, twigs, acorns and other arts and craft materials. They look lovely hanging on the residents' doors and really brighten up the corridors.
Roald Dahl Day
Challoner House took part in Roald Dahl Day. Our staff dressed up as characters from his books, and the residents reminisced about his stories. We held a Willy Wonka chocolate tea party, and the residents said the really enjoyed the day.
Carnival Crafts
We decided to have a craft morning based around Notting Hill Carnival. Our residents and staff made headdresses and listened to some steel drum carnival music and spoke about the costumes, music and atmosphere at carnivals.
Challoner House Awards
We arranged our own small awards ceremony at Challoner House. Everyone won an award, including the staff! All recipients took home a certificate and a small trophy too.
Italian Day
Today we held an Italian-themed day. Residents enjoyed making their own pizzas listening to Italian music followed by an Italian-themed lunch.
