Our activities team continues to offer a wide range of activities to both mentally and physically stimulate our residents.

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.

Life at Emily Jackson House Care Home
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.
A Kind Donation
Many thanks to Jacky, Pat and Rosemary Seall, who kindly donated an INR testing machine to the home. We are very grateful!
Care Home Open Day
Young and old came together to celebrate Care Home Open Day for a day of community fun on the 21st of June.
Guests tucked into tasty summer nibbles and everyone enjoyed tapping their feet to traditional old time music by Rick Stills.
All who visited had an opportunity to view our home and its facilities and took away a goodie bag.
Art Exhibition
We had a selection of 'moth art' on display at a recent art exhibition that we held.
Sunshine Smoothies
Residents spent some time soaking up the sunshine and enjoying smoothies with the local students in the garden.
Bowls
Residents have been enjoying themselves playing lots of bowls recently here at Emily Jackson House.
