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
Knit & Knatter
Today our residents started a new group called knit & knatter as I have found lots of our residents like to knit and thought it would be good to bring all of our residents together and have started a new project where the residents have decided to make a blanket for a charity and also they are looking forward to making Christmas decorations and toys for disadvantage children in the community , we also find that this activity is good for their hand dexterity.
Victoria Country Park/Hamble Seafront
Today our residents had a lovely time as we took the mini bus out to the lovely Victoria country park in the morning and down to Hamble seafront in the afternoon also the residents got to have a nice tea or coffee in the sunshine or even a Mr Whippy ice-cream everyone said they had such a great time and look forward to see where they will go next.
