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
Afternoon Croquet
Residents at Cossins House enjoy getting together in the afternoon for a game of croquet. Residents get competitive with one another to see who can score the highest points.
Well done to Mike, who scored the most points. Mike used his golfing skills, which took him to the top of the leader board. As a team, we have a lot of fun in the garden and laughing together.
Flower Power
Rosina spent the afternoon flower arranging. Cossins House received a donation of different flowers each week from a member of the public to enjoy flower arranging. Residents enjoy coming together to fill all the vases and produce beautiful bouquets to put around our home.
Ball Games
Residents have been enjoying taking regular walks around our garden and doing a morning exercise class each day under our new gazebo.
Fairy Garden
Residents and staff worked together collecting things from our garden to produce our very own Fairy Garden. Whilst working together as a team, residents chatted and enjoyed tea and cake. Phyllis mentioned the little dog in our Fairy Garden, which reminds her of our PAT dog, Bobby, who visits on a regular basis.
Quizzes by the Pond
We had an afternoon of fun doing a quiz by our gorgeous pond whilst enjoying a cup of tea and company. Residents at Cossins House love to sit by the pond and listen to the sounds of water. It’s very relaxing! Well done to Rosina for winning our quiz.
Fish & Chip Lunch
Residents at Cossins House wished to have a lovely lunch out in the garden whilst the sun was shining. Our lovely Chef served a beautiful fish & chip lunch for all with a side salad. Everybody had a lovely afternoon engaging in conversation and getting to know our new residents.
