Activities at Chestnut Gardens Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.
Rikardas Cirunas
Hello, my name is Rikardus and I am the Activities Co-ordinator at Chestnut Gardens Care Home.
I have worked for Barchester for five years and was so excited to be part of such a excellent team at this beautiful home.
Every day I look forward to supporting our residents in living a full and enriched life and especially enjoy the outdoor activities that we arrange to the local attractions, even if the weather can be unpredictable at times.
We also hold loads of varied internal activities so everyone is catered for and the musicians and therapy animals are a very big hit.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Chestnut Gardens Care Home
Talia plays her Accordion
Residents we wowed by the talents of Talia. She sang, played the accordion beautifully and had everyone up on their feet dancing. A lovely way to spend an afternoon.
Autumnal fun
As the nights draw in and the temperature drops. Residents at Chestnut Gardens love nothing more than, making and baking. So everyone got creative and made floral displays and delicious cupcakes for everyone to enjoy with a nice cup of tea.
Country Pub Lunches
With an abundance of lovely country pubs nestled in the Surrey Hills. Residents are spoilt for choice of places to visit. The Wattenden Arms was a firm favourite. Delicious food and roaring fires. The staff made us so welcome we will be back soon.
Birthday Celebrations
We always encourage family get together's and parties here at Chestnut Gardens. Birthday's are always a great excuse to get the family together and make a fuss. Penny recently turned 80 years young. Surrounded by friends and family she had a wonderful day.
