Activities at Emily Jackson
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.
Meet our dedicated team on Saturday 21st April, who can answer any questions you may have about our home.

Animal Entertainment
Residents were delighted and intrigued to meet with some visiting animals. There were all kinds of creatures, including snakes, spiders and mice. Residents who stayed in their rooms were also treated to a visit from the unusual animal farm. It was definitely an event to remember!
Don't Dine Alone
We opened our doors to a number of people from the community to help tackle loneliness. We invited anyone who would usually dine alone to join us on 12th July for a meal.
Diners were treated to a tasty lunch in our recently refurbished dining room. Guests had a chance to chat to the home’s staff and residents while enjoying their food. Visitors came from all over Sevenoaks and relaxed to music by Smiley from the '40s, '50s and '60s.
Our Head Chef produced a range of dishes to cover varied individual dietary needs and preferences. Diners were served a three-course meal, fruit punch and refreshments of their choice.
The ‘Don’t Dine Alone’ initiative was launched by Barchester as a way to reach out to isolated or vulnerable members of local communities.
