Activities at Newton House Care Home

This week we are celebrating National Carers week,

Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of the challenges carers face and to recognise the contribution they make to families, residents and their communities.

What fabulous performances today at Newton House with the incredible Chantry Dance Company.

Another fantastic friendship group today at Newton House, with residents meeting up with their friends and enjoying a game of dominoes and bendominoes.

We also celebrated “time for a cuppa” for Dementia UK with tea, coffee, cake & biscuits.

The fun and games finished with a Royal Family Quiz, which is one of their favourite subjects, and their knowledge was incredible with not one question answered incorrectly.

There is still plenty of time to purchase a raffle ticket for our “Time for a Cuppa” raffle, these can be purchased at our reception. We have some fantastic prizes, which we will post on Facebook tomorrow.
