Activities at Elderwood House Care Home

There’s something truly special about enjoying the simple pleasures of summer together. Our residents recently spent a relaxing afternoon in the garden, savouring fresh strawberries dipped in rich chocolate while making the most of the glorious sunshine.

Surrounded by beautiful outdoor spaces, the afternoon was filled with laughter, conversation, and moments of quiet relaxation. These shared experiences encourage friendships, promote wellbeing, and remind us that some of life’s happiest moments are often the simplest.

At Elderwood House, we believe creating meaningful moments every day is just as important as providing exceptional care, helping our residents feel truly at home.

At Elderwood House, we believe in being an active part of the Hextable community. That’s why we’re proud to be sponsoring Hextable Primary School’s Summer Fair.

We’re looking forward to joining pupils, families and local residents for what promises to be a fantastic afternoon of fun and celebration. Supporting local schools and community events is just one of the ways we help residents stay connected to the community they know and love.

As we continue to grow, we warmly welcome opportunities to work alongside local schools, charities, businesses and community groups. Together, we’re creating meaningful partnerships that enrich the lives of our residents and help make Elderwood House a welcoming hub at the heart of the local community.

At Elderwood House, we believe exceptional care is about supporting wellbeing as well as meeting individual care needs. Our luxurious assisted spa bath provides residents with a relaxing and therapeutic experience in a safe, comfortable environment.

Featuring soothing mood lighting and specialist bathing equipment, the spa bath offers the perfect opportunity to unwind, promote relaxation and enjoy a little extra comfort and indulgence. It is just one of the many thoughtful touches that make life at Elderwood House truly special.

There were smiles all around at Elderwood House as our residents enjoyed a wonderful pet therapy visit. Spending time with our friendly four-legged visitors brought comfort, laughter and plenty of happy memories, with residents enjoying cuddles, conversation and companionship.

Pet therapy is a fantastic way to promote wellbeing, encourage social interaction and create meaningful moments, and it was lovely to see the positive impact it had on everyone involved. We look forward to welcoming our furry friends back to Elderwood again soon! 

At Elderwood Care Home, we were delighted to welcome the wonderful pupils and teachers from Hextable Primary School for a fun-filled afternoon of intergenerational activities. Residents and children enjoyed a giant conversation dice game, sharing stories and memories, before teaming up for a lively quiz filled with laughter and friendly competition.

These visits are about so much more than games. They create meaningful opportunities for our residents to connect with younger generations, reminisce and share their life experiences, while helping children develop confidence, empathy and understanding.

A huge thank you to everyone at Hextable Primary School for making our first visit such a success. We look forward to welcoming them back to Elderwood for many more memorable afternoons together.

We are delighted to share that Nicola, our home administrator has been given our very first Employee of the Month award here at Elderwood House.

Nicola has worked incredibly hard over the past months to support the commissioning of the home, her dedication and support to her team is fantastic and we all agree she is extremely deserving of this award.

Congratulations Nicola! 

Family time is precious, and our private dining room offers the perfect setting to enjoy it. Graham and his loved ones recently shared a delicious meal prepared by our Head Chef, Joe Sackett, enjoying quality time together in a relaxed and elegant environment. It’s just one of the many ways we help residents continue making special memories with the people who matter most.

At Elderwood House, activities are shaped around the interests and preferences of the people who live here. Residents recently enjoyed a game of Rummikub and interactive sessions on our Magic Table, sharing conversation, laughter and time together.

These person-centred moments support independence, encourage social connection and help residents continue enjoying the hobbies and interests that are important.
