Activities at Emily Jackson House Care Home
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.

Life at Emily Jackson House Care Home
Prayer Evening
Prayer is our conversation with God and we were so delightful to have local people from CRC Church Sevenoaks in our home. We prayed for staff and how we went through the pandemic. We served nice grazing plates, croissants, selection of fruit and selection of beverages.
Baking Cupcakes
We are so happy we have a Head Chef who is always helping us with baking activities. We baked cupcakes and we also decorated them. Baking is very popular in our home; everyone likes to participate in this activity.
Yoga in the Sun
We are enjoying the lovely hot weather here at Emily Jackson.
Chinese New Year
We celebrated Chinese New Year with a lovely planned meal, virtual tour and lanterns. The residents loved it!
Baking Day
We made Rocky Roads with the residents and they enjoyed it tremendously.
Vaccination Day
Residents and staff at Emily Jackson House were delighted when their GP surgery came to the home to administer the Coronavirus vaccine.
We’ve had a year like no other and the vaccine feels like the light at the end of the tunnel. Our teams have been magnificent in how they have risen to every challenge during this pandemic and we are proud to play our part in this next phase to ensure the most vulnerable are protected. This has lifted everyone’s spirits after what has been a very challenging year for everyone.
