Activities at Newton House Care Home

Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together at Newton House Care Home to enjoy an open day that was held at the home on Saturday 1st July

Newton House Care Home hosted a variety of activities throughout the day, including an Alice in Wonderland style, Mad Hatters Tea Party, which saw our colleagues embrace the spirit of the event, featuring a collection of inspiring fancy dress which were enjoyed by everyone who came to the event.

Residents were delighted with the delicious food presented by our wonderful catering team and thoroughly enjoyed a day of togetherness

Across our services we had a lovely time joining Rhiannon Watkinson from the RAF Museum London for an interactive talk exploring the exciting and innovative aviation history of Hendon.

Our residents were able to learn about the first flights from the fields at Hendon, the creation of the London Aerodrome and Battle of Britain pilots who flew from RAF Hendon.

The talk also included photographic and film material from the Museum’s archive. Residents across our homes had a fantastic time and we truly enjoyed the virtual experience.

What an incredible afternoon to go out on the bus and visit the amazing Kesteven Rideability!

Residents were delighted to attend the “tea & pony” session and have been looking forward to it for some time.

The sun was shining and we were welcomed with open arms, as we returned for the popular activity.

Meeting the beautiful horses, reminiscing and enjoying delicious home baked cakes by the fabulous Liz, it really was a joyous afternoon.

The ladies always look after us and our residents so well, and the work that they do is just beautiful!

We can’t to visit again in the upcoming weeks.

Our weekly gardening club was a huge success, enjoying the glorious weather.

A variety of activities were taking place and there were smiles and laughter all around.

We have also started the upcycle of our wooden furniture outside, the gents helped with the sanding down and have made a fabulous job with the paintwork.

Resident Vonny was in her element with the weeding and bulb planting, whilst others enjoyed music therapy and singalongs in the sunshine.

We are really loving and making the most of this beautiful weather!

We are all loving this beautiful weather and ventured out on the minibus to Wyndham Park.

More visits to the park was requested in our last residents meeting, so it is wonderful being able to fulfil residents wishes.

Residents loved saying hello to others, and they loved seeing the children out having fun with their families.

We enjoyed a nice refreshing drink in the Wyndham Park Cafe too and a huge thank you to the kind staff who was very helpful, it’s such a lovely place to visit when going to the park.

John and Janet have asked to go their afternoon tea next time, and where there’s cake involved that’s always a good thing!

Residents across our services had a delightful time during a special virtual sensory storytelling event, led by Art Historian Jon Sleigh from the Historic Royal Palaces.

Jon took us on a journey to discover some of the more unusual and unexpected inhabitants of the palaces and the Tower of London, sharing fascinating stories about the pets at the palaces.

Whilst enjoying the virtual experience, our residents were treated to hot beverages, delicious biscuits, berries and cakes.  It was a truly lovely time for all.
