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
Halloween
Decorated to the theme, everyone at Challoner House was looking forward to Halloween! Staff dressed up and we enjoyed music from one of our own staff members. Residents got into the spirit of things and had a ghoulish day!
Zoolab Returns
Heather from Zoolab joined us and brought some of her amazing animal friends with her for the residents to meet and even hold.
There was a corn snake, a fluffy Guinea pig and the residents loved meeting them all – especially the bearded dragon!
Macmillan Coffee Morning
We hosted a coffee morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. We had some delightful cakes, live entertainment and there was great conversation flowing.
Poppy Making
Residents got their hands dirty by making clay poppies to prepare for Remembrance Day.
For the Love of Music
Here at Challoner House, we regularly host a range of entertainers, who cater to all kinds of tastes. Here is Tony Allgood having a singalong with residents. What a fun Sunday afternoon!
Indoor Gardening
Bad weather won't stop the residents of Challoner House from gardening; we hosted some indoor sessions, which everyone loved.
