Activities at Station Court Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities make up the most important part of all our days, and at Station Court we ensure there are a variety of social events that reflect the individual interests and capabilities of people we support. All group and individual activities are designed to not only mentally and physically stimulate the people we care for, but to enhance their life skills and feelings of purpose and self worth. All of our team are committed to supporting a full activities programme within the home.

Some had fun and got into the community spirit, joining the Ashington parade and looking back on the history of the town. Gents in our monthly pub club headed to the local pub’s beer garden enjoying refreshing pints of their favourites. Whilst others preferred the calmness of the seaside and tucking into award-winning Fish N’ Chips at South Beach. As one of our gentlemen rightly commented, “We are spoiled for choice with places to visit in Northumberland!”

Afterwards, all the gentlemen were treated to a special Dad's Day dinner, enjoying a 3-course Sunday roast together with a quiz, chocolate gifts and the alcoholic beverages flowing.
Mini bus adventures
Residents at Station Court Care Home have enjoyed heading on the mini-bus for days out in the community and soaking up the springtime sunshine during the end of Spring.
Gents club members loved visiting the seaside town of Whitley Bay and tucking into delicious fish n’ chips on the coast. Nature lovers enjoyed strolls in the new Coronation Park, dementia garden, exploring the sensory-stimulating garden and animal lovers had a brilliant trip to Northumberland Zoo, discovering over 80 species of animals, watching the birds of prey show and tucking into a picnic in the sun.
Meaningful mini-bus outings like these are a regular part of our activity programme at Station Court, ensuring our residents remain part of the community and greatly improve mental and physical well-being.
Football fever
Station Court care home residents and life-long Newcastle United Football Club fans had an amazing experience lifting the Carabao cup themselves, After watching their team lift the cup in the historic Carabao cup final in March. Supporters have waited 70 years for a domestic cup win and so when staff members heard of the cup touring the region they made sure the gents didn’t miss the experience.
It was a wonderful surprise for the pair. Ronnie, a season ticket holder who never missed a home or away game beamed with joy as he was able to hold the cup on his lap. David went to his first match at St James Park ages just 8 – in the 1930’s and has been a toon fan ever since, he remembers seeing the last time the toon army won a cup back in 1955 and shared “It was such a magical feeling being able to hold up the cup, almost worth the 70 year wait!”
Lunch and fizz outing
Residents living in our Memory Lane community celebrated World Cocktail Day in style by visiting our local friendly and relaxed restaurant, The Old Ash Dene. Residents enjoyed reminiscing about their younger years in Ashington whilst sipping on fruity cocktails in the glorious sunshine before heading inside the restaurant for a delicious lunch of their choice.
Outings like these ensure our residents remain part of the community and play a vital role in supporting emotional wellbeing and encouraging social interaction.
Dabbers at the ready, eyes down
Residents at Station Court had a brilliant evening joined by their family and friends having fun together, connecting and racing to win prizes in everyone’s favourite family fun game, bingo! Enjoying playing side games of the odd one out and spinning the wheel whilst tucking into nibbles and glasses of fizz.
A big thank you to all who attended our first bingo night. We can’t wait to host our next one. As they say, it’s all fun and games until someone yells BINGO!
