Activities at Chestnut Gardens Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Life at Chestnut Gardens Care Home
Private Dining
As well as 4 restaurants (one on each floor) Chestnut Gardens boasts a "Private Dining" space. Residents can invite family and friends to dine and enjoy time on their own and a superb fine dining experience!
Dementia Action Week
This week is Dementia Action Week, an Alzheimer's Society initiative. The theme for 2023 is "Diagnosis." Many folk are too worried about what their memory loss what mean, that they retreat in to themselves and won't ask for help and guidance. We're delighted to join our local Waitrose stores to help shoppers understand that they can come to us at Chestnut Gardens and enjoy a complimentary cuppa, slice of chef's award winning gateaux and friendly reassuring chat with our expert team!
A Spa Day!
We don't have to travel far to enjoy a relaxing Spa Day. We have our very own Spa at Chestnut Gardens. Our resident commented, "It's just like being on a Cruise ship without the sea!"

Our regular "open to all" Community Cafe was very busy again this week with attendees being treated to a free manicure and or hand massage!
Councillor's Visit
