Activities at Cossins House Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

I have been working in care since the age of 16, when leaving school. Over the years, I have been a senior care assistant, administrator, home trainer and activities coordinator. I really enjoy working with the elderly residents.

Life at Cossins House Care Home
Flower Potting
Our lovely resident Shirley spent the afternoon potting some plants for our beautiful garden. Shirley is very keen on taking care of all the plants inside and outside of our home.
Flower Arranging
Every two weeks residents come together for flower arranging club. We all enjoy getting competitive to see who can create the best bouquet.
Baking Club
We had a really fun messy afternoon recently, mixing ingredients and baking tasty snacks to go with our afternoon tea. Residents really enjoyed getting involved whilst talking about all their favourite recipes they cooked at home.
Spa Day!
Residents at Cossins House relaxed and enjoyed a beautiful spa day recently, having their nails manicured followed by a luxurious hand massage. Whilst being pampered we listened to gentle music for the full spa experience!
New Year, New Goals!
One of our residents, Phyllis, has decided to set herself a new challenge for 2022 and to have a walk around our garden every day! Keep it up Phyllis!
Double celebrations
A wonderful Christmas Party Lunch at Cossins House with a celebration for our Ken who turned 100. Ken was delighted with his card from Her Majesty.
