Activities at Emily Jackson House 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.

Our activities team continues to offer a wide range of activities to both mentally and physically stimulate our residents. Our activities include one to one shopping, group outings in our minibus, and regularly attending our local church and bowling club. We also enjoy the entertainment from the musicians who come and visit us as well as our PAT dog. We have a range of activities so residents with all abilities and talents can join in activities and social gatherings. We encourage families and volunteers to share the joy with us by taking part in our social events as well.

Celebrating life at Emily Jackson House Care Home

Celebrating world culture day!

Celebrating world culture day!

How fabulous do our staff look? Here at Emily Jackson we have a wide diversity of team members from all over the world. 
We celebrated World Culture Day with team members dressing in their beautiful national clothing. They proudly talked to the residents and other team members about their cultures and traditions. 

It really was a great afternoon with lots of the team getting involved and having a lovely time. The residents really enjoyed getting to know more about the staff that care for them. Well done team! 

Dementia Disco

Dementia Disco

On Friday 23 May we launched our very first Dementia Disco and the residents thought it was absolutely brilliant! 
DJ Pete Duffey played some amazing tunes and some old favourites from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Residents and team members put on their dancing shoes and danced and sang along to their favourite hits. 
Residents agreed that they had a wonderful time!

Why not join in the fun and come along to our next Dementia Disco? Our next Disco is on Thursday 10th July from 3pm  
Hope to see you there.

Motorbike show!

Motorbike show!

We were so lucky with the weather recently for our Motorcycle show. Unfortunately Motorcyclists were put off by the threat of the rain but not the fabulous four that joined us from the Triumph Owners Motorcycle Club.

Residents and families enjoyed chatting to the men, sharing stories, comparing bikes and generally chatting. We all had a great morning with our new friends!

Did you know we regularly go on outings in our minibus?

We recently spent a fabulous afternoon at Hever Castle & Gardens.

Resident Andrew had very fond memories of visiting Hever with his wife and family, so with his birthday coming up on Saturday, we thought what a perfect pre-birthday trip. We were joined by Andrew's wife and some fellow residents.  We enjoyed a picnic near the castle and then a stroll around the gardens.

The roses were in full bloom and everything looked lovely. Resident Michael thought the gardens were amazing!

Biggin Hill airport trip!

All of us here at Emily Jackson House have been enjoying this fabulous weather. Last week we took a trip out to The Lookout Café at Biggin Hill airport. Resident Andrew was particularly thrilled as he used to fly aeroplanes, and he was so pleased to revisit a favourite place.

We enjoyed our drinks in the sunshine whilst watching the world (and aeroplanes) go by.

Margaret's 90th birthday celebrations!

Margaret's 90th birthday celebrations!

It was the perfect afternoon to celebrate a special lady’s birthday.

Resident Margaret celebrates being 90. She was joined by her friends to enjoy a birthday afternoon tea in our lovely gardens.

Margaret was thrilled to see her friends and enjoyed celebrating in the sunshine.
Margaret said, "I’ve had such a lovely time. The cake was delicious!" 

Doug's 95th birthday!

Doug's 95th birthday!

We had a fantastic day watching the rugby at Sevenoaks Rugby Club and celebrated Doug's 95th birthday.
The residents that joined us for the game are both keen rugby fans, having both played in their youth. Douglas when he was at school and Gerry played professionally for Gloucester.

Sevenoaks Rugby Club reserved special seats for our group where we were joined by family members. We were lucky with the weather and, even better, the Mighty Oaks won!!

Thank you to Sevenoaks Rugby Club for your hospitality and kindness.

Monkey Music

Monkey Music

What a fabulous morning with Monkey Music Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks. We were joined by toddlers and their parents/grandparents for a morning of fun and music. 

The activity got us all moving, singing and sharing the moment filled us with joy. The wonderful singing session created a symphony of connection between generations. This kind of intergenerational activity benefits everyone.

We all had such a great time and can't wait to welcome you back again.
