We believe in making a difference to the lives of people living here with us and ensure that we provide a lifestyle full of choice and stimulation that is centred around each resident here at Red Oaks. This includes a whole host of varied activities, together with regular trips out around the region, taking full advantage of the home’s minibus. Our aim is to enable each person we support to continue to do the things they enjoy for as long as they possibly can.
Sue McHoy
My role as activity coordinator at Red Oaks is ensuring that all residents have a full and varied activity program. Using our getting to know me books and knowing our residents backgrounds develop our activity program. Having lived in Henfield for the past 10 years I enjoy assisting residents maintaining and forming new the community connections.
I am passionate about my role, the part is having fun and making people smile.

Life at Red Oaks Care Home
Experimenting with colours in this weeks Art Class
This week our art club which is enjoyed by many of our residents started exploring the medium of water colours. Taking the theme of poppies, residents created some fabulous pictures with the guidance of our senior carer and art enthusiast Andreia.
Andreia is firm believer in everyone can enjoy art and her enthusiasm and encouragement with residents shines through in these weekly sessions
The Holiday Memory Box
This week, some of our residents enjoyed rummaging through some 'holiday memory boxes' that were full up with fantastic memories of past holidays all over the English countryside. It was a great way to spend the afternoon, reminiscing about theme parks, holiday destinations and postcard destination
Board never Bored
A autumnal afternoon here at Red Oaks was turned into a brilliant opportunity to find the board games and settle down to an afternoon of friendly competitiveness. Here at Red Oaks we are very aware that playing board games stimulates brain areas that are responsible for memory formation and complex thought process for all ages and we had such fun.
