Activities at Silverbirch House Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Coffee and cup-cakes
Rosemary and Collin thoroughly enjoyed their trip to a local cafe. Their favourite part of the trip was obviously the coffee and cup-cakes. A lovely way to spend a sunny afternoon.
Bob, our Resident Ambassador.
Meet Bob Silverbirch’s Resident Ambassador. Bob was the first resident to move in to his new forever home, when we opened our doors just a few short weeks ago. We are delighted for him to take on this role. Bob was born in Gateshead before moving to Surrey for his career in his 20’s. He had a very successful career as a Health and Safety Manager at an Oil Company. He has 3 sons and 6 grandchildren who he is extremely proud of. You will usually find Bob in our Cafe with a hot drink and listening to Opera his favourite kind of music.
The Big Quiz!
Our residents and staff came together with 150 other Barchester homes to take part in their first, annual, Big Barchester Quiz! Bob amazed us with his quick answers and we ended up with 29 out of 30 correct so we are feeling pretty proud!
Christmas at Silverbirch House
