Activities at Newington Court Care Home

Our Activities Coordinator here at Newington Court constantly strives to mentally and physically stimulate those we support in our home. We have our own minibus enabling residents to go shopping, to the local garden centre, out for fish and chips, and for boat trips in the summer. We also have regular visits from the PAT dog, musicians and entertainers. We hold cheese and wine evenings for residents and their families and our residents attend services at the local school for Remembrance Day and Christmas. The junior school also come in and sing for our residents at Christmas. The residents also attended a Christmas Party held at a local Grammar School hosted by the students.

Jo English

Activities Coordinator

I joined Newington Court in September 2021. After working as a Carer in September 2022 I became the Lead Activities Co-coordinator. It is a pleasure to care for our residents and make sure that their needs are met to the highest standards. Every day is different but it is a very rewarding job and gives a great sense of satisfaction. I am looking forward to ensuring that our residents are getting an enriched lifestyle and by getting to know them on a one-to-one basis making sure that we cater to everyone’s needs and interests.

Newington's Centenarian

Happy 100th birthday to our beautiful Ellen!

Ellen had a long and happy career as a midwife both here and in Canada, even delivering one of our own nurse's babies! Some of her former colleagues, lots of friends and family joined her at Newington Court for afternoon tea to celebrate her special day. She was also delighted to receive her card from the Queen.

Summer BBQ

Newington Court held its Summer BBQ in the garden. Residents and their families enjoyed mocktails, sparkling wine or beer along with a delicious BBQ cooked by Head Chef Stuart. The activities coordinators Lyn and Yvonne arranged games and provided entertainment. Everyone had a very enjoyable Saturday afternoon in the August sunshine.
