Activities at Orchard House Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Orchard House Care Home
Christmas Arts & Crafts
Residents enjoyed an afternoon making Christmas decorations to then put on their Christmas tree or place in their rooms.
Christmas Lights
We wrapped up warm and took a trip traveling around the island on the minibus to see Christmas lights, which residents said were amazing!
Christmas Wrapping
One of Orchard House volunteer’s had lots of fun wrapping Christmas presents.
Christmas Jumper Day
On Friday 14th December Orchard House team took part having fun wearing our Christmas jumpers in aid of Save the Children and help make awareness.
12 Days of Christmas
Throughout December, our lovely Orchard staff participated in a fun and friendly competition over 12 days. They had to dress up in festive clothing and show their Christmas spirit as much as they could. At the end of the competition, staff and residents found it very difficult to pick a winner, as everyone did so well.
Return to Busy Bees
We enjoyed a festive trip to Busy Bees Garden Centre to see their lovely Christmas decorations and indulge in a hot cuppa and some cake in their café.
