Activities at Seaview House Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators are constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we support by organising group and individual activities for anyone and everyone to participate in. There are exercise classes and a walking group, regular outings in the minibus to nearby places of interest including local concerts, as well as weekly visits from a PAT dog, and regular visits from musicians and entertainers, as well as church services which are held twice a month. We also host a weekly social event in which we encourage residents from the whole home to socialise together.
Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained, and that life at Seaview is fun and active.

Life at Seaview House Care Home
Blenheim Christmas lights
We experienced the Christmas extravaganza of Blenheim Palace with Social Historian - Antonia Keaney, who took us on a recorded tour around the Christmas sights at the palace this year.
Winston Churchill's love affair with Blenheim Palace
Our residents were thrilled to join Antonia Keaney - Blenheim Palace’s Historian for an intriguing virtual talk on Winston Churchill.
The private resources of Blenheim Palace were drawn upon to afford very new and refreshing insights into this remarkable man. During the talk Antonia shared fascinating information about the breadth of talent, achievement and personality of the "Greatest Briton": soldier, politician, statesman, painter, writer, orator, family man - and bricklayer!
We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed learning more about UK’s former Prime Minister.
A trip out
Residents took advantage of the mild weather to enjoy a trip out on the homes mini bus taking in the sights of the countryside before returning for a refreshing cup of tea and a slice of home-made cake. George said “I enjoyed my wee trip out”.
Armistice Day
Seaview commemorated the signing of the Armistice Day agreement on the day that the guns finally fell silent. They joined the rest of the United Kingdom in holding a two-minute silence at the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month.
As well as marking Armistice Day by wearing poppies and observing the national two minute silence, residents took part in therapeutic activities creating making poppy displays and listening to old wartime songs.
Meet the team
We would like to introduce to you, Elaine Edwards and Zoe Rothera.

More recently they have both been promoted to team leaders and we would all like to wish them the best of luck in their new roles. Well done from all of us at Seaview!
It's the little things!
It’s the Little Things! Here at Seaview we celebrated National Hug a Bear Day. So who better to pay a visit to our home was - Winnie the Pooh - who did his rounds in throughout the home, it was beautiful to see what a hug can do for you.
