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
Wedding Celebrations
Residents at Cossins House were delighted to see Activity Coordinator Lisa in her wedding dress. Residents helped Lisa along the way with her wedding plans and were so happy with a surprise visit on her return from holiday.
Lisa and residents spent the afternoon talking to each other about their wedding days and all their memories with loved ones.
Sisters Reunited
After 5 years of not seeing each other Ruth and Margaret were reunited. Our dear Ruth hadn’t seen her sister for such a long time, they were desperate to see each other. Margaret lived far away and is 91years old. Cossins House invited Margaret to come and stay over the night to be able to spend time together and make new memories. Margaret travelled to Cossins House by train to fulfil her wish. Both Ruth and Margaret had a wonderful time and made every moment count.
Residents BBQ and Sunshine
Residents love to have BBQ’s during the summer days. Roza our kitchen assistant and Manny our maintenance man delivered several different dishes to our residents. The flavours were delightful. After our delicious meal we sat and enjoyed each other’s company in the garden to soak up some vitamin D.
Cobham Community Centre
Residents at Cossins house had a wonderful day out at Cobham Community Centre mixing with members during a group flower arranging session and having a delicious lunch. After lunch Elmbridge Museum gave us a lovely talk on Prehistoric Elmbridge.
A lovely BBQ in the Sun!
The sun shines and the BBQ comes out. Team Cossins enjoyed a wonderful BBQ together out in the garden. It was a lovely time for all to be together and spend time with some relatives too. We look forward to many more over the summer season.
A trip to the Train Station
Resident Ken has a passion for trains. Ken said he misses the trains and would like to go to the station. Lisa Activities Coordinator took Ken to the station which he thoroughly enjoyed. After watching the trains we popped over the road for a coffee and cookie. Ken was delighted to go out and spend quality time together doing what he loves.
