Activities at Newton House Care Home

A delightful day outside in the sunshine with gardening club,

making the most of the glorious sunshine, planting bulbs and seeds, feeding the birds and a spot of weeding.

The ladies put us to shame with their gardening skills too!

Gardening is very much enjoyed by our residents at Newton House and assists in a feeling of empowerment by placing residents on an expert role.

There are many other benefits also, including maintaining lifestyle skills and hobbies, reminiscence, increased social and mobility skills and a feeling of empowerment.

Newton House had so much fun, visiting Lovely Loaves in Grantham
Lel, Janet and the residents baked and decorated some extremely impressive cupcakes and the most delicious scones!

Resident Mikes profession was a pastry MasterChef, he even taught Marcus Wearing in his younger years at College, this activity meant the world to him and brought back the most beautiful memories!

He said “it was the best morning I’ve ever had”.

A cheers to the weekend with a joyous bus trip out to the Miller & Carter for a trip out to enjoy a nice refreshment, we had lots of fun chatting about a variety of different topics.

Janet said “what a great time we’ve had girls, it’s so kind of you to do this”.

We really do love our trips out at Newton House, they provide not only wonderful experiences but opportunities to continue with their hobbies and lifestyle routines.

What a joyous & refreshing morning we had, celebrating world health day

We started the day with a wonderful friendship group to bring all residents together from across the home – Meeting new friends and engaging in social activity has so many health benefits including an increased feeling of wellbeing and self-esteem, physical activity to enhance body awareness just to name a few.

Residents tucked in to some delicious homemade fruit kebabs, which were made from strawberries, blueberries, oranges and grapes.  They were absolutely scrumptious. We then engaged in a fun quiz about the body for our ‘let’s get quizzical’ activity.

Across our services Residents had a wonderful time participating in an interactive virtual talk with Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy at the University of Westminster, where we delved into the rich history of coronations.

During the talk, we explored fascinating topics such as the coronation chair, the crown, and other significant aspects related to King Charles' upcoming coronation. Our residents were thrilled to have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the memoirs of past coronations from 1937 and 1953, as well as learning about the coronation oath and what to expect from the ceremony, including the music, guests, and pageantry.

We are delighted to announce the opening of Newton Houses Beauty & Holistic room, a calm and relaxing place for residents to enjoy a variety of free treatments, including:
Massage Chair
All hand & Nail care/hand massage
Footspas and foot massage
Diffuser sensory
Face masks/ massage

Our beautiful Resident Ambassador Beryl, was delighted to declare the salon as open and said that she felt honoured to have the pleasure of being asked to do this. The ladies were thrilled to now have a beautiful salon to visit for all of their esteem needs, and they enjoyed nibbles, wine and treatments to celebrate. The celebrations continued this evening with the talented Nick Glover for a good old knees up to celebrate our incredible ladies (the gents were invited too as they are equally amazing).

Pat said “I have tears of joy”, whilst Vonnie said “what a great time we’ve had, thank you all for everything that you do for us”.

“Happy international woman’s day to you all”
