Activities at Lethen Park Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Amanda McCarthy
We all know that keeping active is important. We have created a wonderful culture within the home and we work together to give residents the best possible experience. We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active. We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centered program of events and activities. Essential to our homely feel is the strong relationships of trust we build with residents and their families and friends

Life at Lethen Park Care Home
Jubilee celebrations fit for a Queen!
We marked the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in style with fantastic activities and royal parties.
In recognition of the special occasion, we decorated our home with bunting, beautiful flower displays and themed royal items, including flags and printed photos of the Queen through the years and iconic royal landmarks, like Windsor Castle.
During the Jubilee weekend, our residents enjoyed a variety of sensory sessions and fun-filled activities made their own thank you cards watched the national celebrations on the TV; enjoyed refreshing royal drinks with snacks.
To make things even more interesting, we’ve hosted our very own Royal Party; Jubilee Street Party, Big Jubilee Lunch etc, where community members, families and friends were invited. Everyone enjoyed delicious sweet and savoury treats, prepared by our talented chef and his team, along with tasty peach ice tea mocktails. The event was a big success.
Our festivities were fantastic and everyone was thrilled to celebrate the longest serving British monarch in style.
Lethen Park Garden Project
Activities Coordinator, Amanda and residents have been spending time over the weekend getting out garden ready for our Jubilee Garden Party this week.
We have been planting and potting around our gardens and the bright colours are really starting to take shape and brighten up our gardens!
We can't wait to celebrate with residents, staff and Families this week!
Eyes Down
We had a fun filled afternoon at Lethen Park with our weekly game of Bingo.
As well as helping to keep our residents minds active, Bingo is a great way to promote socialisation and engagement.
We look forward to playing again next week and seeing who our winners will be!
Virtual event with Graham Whitlock
We had a lovely time joining Graham Whitlock for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘The Crystal Palace Chronicles: Star of Nimrod’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fictional character Joe, who went on a rollercoaster adventure travelling back in time to the heyday of Victorian Crystal Palace.
Everyone had lots of fun during the virtual talk, as Graham took them on a clever and hilarious adventure.
A great time was had by all.
Ice cream afternoon at Lethen Park
Over the weekend Residents at Lethen Park enjoyed our very our own ice cream afternoon as we tucked in to ice cream cones; and of course we couldn't forget the flake and sauce to go with it!
