Activities at St Thomas Care Home
Our activities coordinator is dedicated to organising meaningful activities on an individual and group basis to fulfill the daily needs of our residents, as we understand how important mental and physical stimulation is for their wellbeing. Our activities are available to everyone who wants to take part and there is something different going on everyday. We often go out on day trips including visiting shopping centres, garden centres, evening meals at the local pubs, visits to local schools and also coffee mornings with other care homes. We have a wide range of entertainers that visit us at our home including musical therapists, Millers Ark Farm, pantomimes as well as our local salvation army and lots more. We encourage families to join us on trips out and also in home activities such as baking, arts and crafts, dancing and singing, we believe this is a great way for our residents to live an active and fun life here with us at St Thomas.

Life at St Thomas Care Home
A Christmas Donation
Here at St Thomas we have had a recent Christmas Delivery from our friends at South Western Railway.
The kind donation from our local transport services included Christmas gifts and essential toiletries for our residents. Our residents are extremely grateful.
St Thomas look forward to continuing our relationships with the local community.
The Magic Table
Residents enjoying our magic table in the conservatory with soft background music. The magic table is both sensory and interactive. It has proven to be a fantastic resource to those living with dementia.

Our Summer Fair in the Garden!
Thank you to everyone for supporting us on Saturday with our Summer Fair, we raised an amazing £517 for St Michaels Hospice in Basingstoke so well done to all our relatives, visitors, staff and the team who worked so hard organising the day. We also appreciate the support of the Mayor, Onnalee Cubitt who joined us for the afternoon and made the opening speech.
