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
Brambridge Garden Centre
We went on a minibus trip to Brambridge Garden Centre and resident, Cilla, helped to choose these two lovely scarecrows for the garden. Everyone then had fun naming them.
Summer Fête
Barchy Bear loved greeting residents and visitors at our 2017 Summer Fête. It was great fun!
Royal Ascot Ladies Day
On Thursday 24th June, we celebrated Royal Ascot Ladies Day at Challoner House.
We celebrated with cream tea and a horse-themed word quiz. All residents then chose a horse to back in the Gold Cup race.
We managed to get the local community to help by donating some lovely hats for ladies to wear.
Gardening
Residents planted beautiful flowers in the new wheelchair-accessible plant bed. They helped with the design and chose the flowers for this project.
Flower Arranging
Four Challoner House residents enjoyed a morning of flower arranging. Stella, June, Joan and Peggy really enjoyed creating lovely bouquets of flowers with Zuzi from Say it with Flowers and Love, Zuzi made the session fun with singalongs and flower-based quizzes. This will be a monthly activity with a small group each time.
Enjoying the Sunshine!
Residents, Peggy, Cilla, Peggy (yes, two Peggys!) and Ethel have been enjoying the sunshine in our garden with ice lollies to keep them cool.
