Activities at Newton House Care Home

Karen and Sabrina from the activities team recently took a group of residents to the B-Hive community centre to participate in their dementia cafe.

The B-Hive community centre is a welcoming and inclusive space that provides a range of activities and support for people living with dementia and their families . During the visit, the residents had the opportunity to engage in various activities, meeting the team and enjoying a good old fashioned chit chat with members from the Grantham Community over tea and cake.

Newton House hosted a delightful High Tea event featuring cream tea and delicious snacks prepared by the home's kitchen team. The event was a resounding success, with residents, staff, and members of the local community coming together to enjoy an afternoon of decadence.

The event was held in the home's café area which was decorated with beautiful floral arrangements and elegant table settings. The guests were treated to a variety of scrumptious snacks, including cream scones with raspberry jam and a variety of cakes.

The cream tea was a particular highlight, with guests complimenting the quality of the scones and cream.

This morning we were delighted to welcome back to Newton House, the fabulous team from Anglican Water where we held a fun games morning on our Somerby community.

Residents joined together from all communities, to enjoy a variety of games with our guests for their regular team building exercise via volunteering in the local community.

Playing various games including; dominoes, four in a row and jenga whilst chatting and reminiscing over some delicious refreshments, the morning was a huge success, enjoyed by all.

The Gentlemen of Newton House enjoyed a bus trip out to the local Wetherspoons this morning and were treated to a well deserved, delicious bacon sandwich and a beer.

We had a lovely time, reminiscing about our favourite holidays, work life, family and friends.

One of our Gents was delighted to bump into an old dear friend who he hadn’t seen since the 70s, which sparked more reminiscence about his time owning a local garage and fixing his friends car.

All over the country our care homes and hospitals linked up for Barchester’s Big Quiz of the year!

Residents tested their knowledge with a variety of questions, from historical humdingers and musical musings to pictorial puzzlers and connective conundrums.

Everyone who participated had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition.
