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
Puppy love!
We had a Pawsome day with our 4 legged friends Lucille and Willow visiting us with Laura, putting smiles on everyones faces. Dog therapy is brilliant for boosting mood, aiding social interaction and often brings back many happy memories to share of previous pets
The King is in the building!
We put on our blue suede shoes and got all shook up as we celebrated the King of Rock n' Roll's birthday today!
We had a Elvis sing a long and rocked the 50s dance moves to Elvis greatest hits. We discussed his exciting life story and had a fun quiz all about the King, watched clips from his most famous movies and got creative designing our own guitars
Dancing Queens at Mind Active
We had a fabulous afternoon out at Mind Active's community tea dance. Reuniting with old friends and making new ones as we sang along and danced the day away to live entertainment from the brilliant Jessica Irving. Enjoying pie & peas lunch, quiz and winning prizes on the raffle too!
Family and Friends Christmas Lunch
