Activities at Station Court Care Home
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.

Life at Station Court Care Home
Mother's Day Afternoon Tea
All our mothers at Station Court had a fabulous day filled with pampering, love and affection.
It was lovely having our home filled with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren on Mothering Sunday and extra special to host our Mother’s day high tea event with our nearest and dearest joining us for scrumptious food and the bubble flowing as we toast to all our wonderful mothers.
London Ladies
As part of our International Women’s Day celebrations, Residents from across our services were thrilled to join tour guide, Mandy Morrow, for an exciting talk about some Legendary London Ladies.
Mandy shared the fascinating stories of eight ladies with us, from the one of the richest heiresses in the world to the original 'Roaring Girl'.
Everyone who participated truly enjoyed the experience and were delighted to take a walk down memory lane.
Bingo Bonanza
Across the country our homes and hospitals came together to find out which care home or hospital had the best Bingo players as we teamed up for Barchester’s Bingo Bonanza.
Residents were treated to some exciting virtual games of Bingo as part of Barchester’ very own game show series.
Everyone who participate had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition.
Love is in the air for Valentine’s at Station Court
Residents, staff and visitors had a fabulous time at our love and friendship dance with live entertainment from the lovely Michaela from Musical Memories performing love ballads to have us all singing along, dancing and feeling the love together.
Our happy couples in the home celebrated the day of love together at our dance and dine event with live entertainment from smooth and swing entertainer Andy McGowan performing love songs, before our couples enjoyed a wine and dine experience with a 3 course meal prepared by our head chef and toasting with bubbly while sharing memories and their heart-warming love stories with staff.
Pancake Party
Residents had a delicious day celebrating Shrove Tuesday at Station Court Care home.
Ladies and gentlemen took part in flipping and tossing pancake challenges creating a barrel of laughter amongst everyone.
Everyone choose their favourite toppings, or tried something new from an array of tasty options from the classic lemon and sugar to the sweet caramel drizzle and ice-cream to mozzarella and ham for the savoury lovers before the best part - eating them!
Giving a little love this February
Some of our staff have been volunteering alongside Station Court’s charity of the month – Streetworx throughout February to see first-hand the wonderful work the community led organisation do for those living on the streets of Newcastle handing out food, clothing and much needed items.
Our residents have put blessing bags together filled with treats to donate along with our collection of warm clothing, hot pot foods and necessities from our staff and visitors. Every little helps for those facing the cold winter on the streets.
