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
Ice Cream Afternoon
We had planned an ice cream afternoon in the garden, however, the weather was not so warm, so we held it in the home instead.
We had a trolley playing music from an ice cream van, 5 different flavours of ice cream and lots of toppings; the residents really enjoyed choosing their favourite treats. They said it brought back memories of childhood days on the beach.
Glamorous Grandmas
We held a 'Glamorous Grandma' competition and afternoon tea in the garden, as we could not possibly make a decision who should win, as they are all wonderful, they all received a certificate and a little treat. The ladies had a lovely afternoon enjoying the tea and cakes in the sunshine.
100th Birthday Celebrations
Our lovely resident Bill recently celebrations his 100th birthdday here at Challoner with cake and balloons.
Welcome Back!
We have welcomed back our families for garden social distancing visits. Our residents have really enjoyed seeing their loved ones again.
80th Birthday Celebrations
Happy 80th birthday to Val Bell, who celebrated on 23rd June. She was also able to have a garden visit with her family, which absolutely made her day. The staff went outside to sing happy birthday!
Chip Treats
Residents really wanted fish and chips from our local chip shop and wished to eat their meals out of the paper, just like the good ol' days. Every resident got to choose what they wanted to eat from full menu!
