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 Celebrations

Challoner Travels
This month the Challoner Mini-Bus travelled to Lakeside Country Park where we enjoyed some lovely refreshments watching the steam train go past. It brought back so many lovely memories that we were all able to share.
